Seller has (0) feedback
Seller joined ebay on the day of the auction listing
Seller is offering a $5000+ camera for under $900
This super rare item is seller's first and only auction offering
Seller made the auction a "private" one so you cannot see bidder's names
Exact same black Nikon SP, same serial number, same top quality images,
offered on http://www.rarecameras.com/NikonSPblk6.html
Camera located in USA per that website - seller claims it is in UK
Seller made the auction a 3-day one only spanning a weekend when
rarecameras.com may not be contactable
Seller apparently only accepts instant cash transfers (Western Union,
MoneyGram)
Seller's email account at runbox.com is bouncing back messages, stating
'(reason: 550 Account blocked, abuse)'
Auction text indicates seller (who claims to be in UK) can't write English
- ok, grin, that's the bottom of the barrel

ebay response - no indication of fraud. What is your verdict?
Here's your chance to get a working BLACK SP, f2 standard lens and mint
meter for a grand, seven hours left!



Common overseas scam..

Most ebay scams originated from Asian and European countries..
