For your edification, Mr. Nader was a crusader for fairness towards the
consumer, not low prices. Better check your history.

And last time I checked, $199 to $216 wasn't $20 either, so please check
your math.

My real point was that it was an auction and would sell to the highest
bidder. And unless you plan to place a bid yourself you then have no idea
what the final selling price will be, so your statement that this was a
"steal" is meaningless. Better check your English.

Implying that a blotted out receipt (as you put it) would suffice for a
warranty is misleading at best. Is your name and address a secret? If not,
leave them on the receipt so the buyer at least has a chance to say the
camera was a gift, since Canon warranties (which presumably you haven't read
or you would know) state "This limited warranty shall not extend to anyone
other than the original purchaser of the Powershot digital camera or the
person for whom it was purchased as a gift". Better read your warranty
before you offer it as a part of a sale. I don't know about you, but I"ve
never gotten a gift receipt with the "personal info blocked out"

Finally, I'm not a troll, merely a user of this group like you. If one is to
be measured by the number of happy customers they have or the amount of
their 100% positive eBay feedback (which, incidentally you do NOT have, well
then feel free to check mine out (http://tinyurl.com/57erj). I think my
1000+ (over 250 of those buyers) without any negatives is at least the equal
of your less than perfect feedback which includes just 6 buyers. So please
don't preach 100% positive feedback when you don't even have it yourself.

If anyone is a troll, I'd say it's you. Your posts have no name, no valid
email address and they make claims like warranties and perfect feedback that
aren't substantiated by any facts you've presented. It's easy to be right
when your anonymous, eh?

And I'd still like an answer to my original question, how exactly is this
auction a steal, except perhaps for you?

Given that Canon warranties aren't transferable, and that this is an
auction
with a Buy-It-Now price $16 less than a new camera from a dealer
(://tinyurl.com/62hkn), how exactly is this a "steal"?

Tom P.

The price you link is $166.50 higher (more than 300%) higher than my
$50.00
asking price (and I have no reserve, Mr. Nader) and $20 higher than my
"buy
it now" price in a 3 day auction. Get it?

National retailers require dated receipts, not driver's licenses, to
provide
warranty service, and I clearly indicated I did not "warranty" the
warranty
and elected out of the same designation in the Ebay ad. While I can't
extend the same courtesy towards you, I am inclined to think interested
buyers are fully aware of the distinction.

Then again, if my experience is any judge, having owned an s10, s20, s45
and
s410, none of which EVER required service, the issue is moot.

Incidently, I guarantee I sell the camera in the auction and I am quite
certain the buyer will be just as pleased as the other satisfied buyers
have
been from auctions varied from me in the past (100% positive seller
feedback, over a hundred total fb). The "invisible hand" is so much more
accurate than a tiresome and self righteous, troll... So, have at it-
I'll
waste not another second with you.

3 DAY AUCTION ENDS SATURDAY, 9:10 EST/ 6:10 LEFT COAST...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3837551923

LIKE NEW A75 when I thought I lost my other Powershot on vacation.
Well,
I
found my other cam in my bike bag so my loss is your gain. It has been
sitting in its box in the few weeks since I purchased it.

This camera is indistinguishable from BRAND NEW, the software/cables
were
never opened, all original material is included.

I will include my original receipt with personal info blocked out
should
you
ever wish to avail of warranty work. I do not promise warranty
transferability, however.

It is a great and efficient little camera. Having AA batteries that
last
forever versus proprietary ones that could leave you without power is a
big
help!

eMAIL any questions to and remember to replace

of War with Mother Earth.'

Thanks,
