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

For YOUR edification, I used the comparison as a literary tool comparing the
behavior of self righteous folk who have lost their credibility thus
impeding their own "implied" objectives. Better read slower.



My real point was that it was an auction and would sell to the highest
bidder.

The self proclaimed purveyor of literal interpretation has a "real point"?
So, logically your other points are false? You do seem to like it both
ways.


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.

If someone tells you it is "raining cats and dogs" do you immediately call
the ASPCA?
What the hell does "better check your English" mean, anyway?

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?

From trolls like yourself, you bet! Careless slanderers are probably
capable of much worse behavior, like perhaps stalking.

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.

You mean the part where I said "I do not promise warranty transferability"?

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.

Once again, my haughty and self-righteous troll, YOU CAN'T READ. "100%
positive seller" feedback is what I posted and what I have. Out of my other
100 plus feedbacks, the solitary negative comes from a unregistered scammer
who posted negative to me AFTER I paid for her smoke damaged item!
Something tells me you two should hook up.

And, Tom, I am not attacking your honesty - just your reading comprehension
skills and sense of self righteousness. It annoying to have to respond to
your distortions and lies.

But, as is the trend with rightwingers- attack first, irrespective of the
facts, and let the victim deal with clearing his name.

You know, I would be less than genuine when I say I don't feel inclined to
attack your honesty. I see in one of your Ebay ads, for a non-IS 300f/4,
you say "Yes, there's a newer, IS version. No, it's not nearly as sharp as
this one, check it out on photodo or photo.net or anywhere else...".
Perhaps Photodo had a bad sample of the IS? Perhaps you chose to ignore
Castleman's conclusion- "based on my testing, the Canon EF 300mm f/4 L IS is
every bit as sharp and contrasty as the non-IS version with the benefit of
image stabilization. Perhaps you were too busy pedaling your wares to note
Malcolm Stewart's posting of Canon MTF charts on dpreview.com that had been
printed by Canon in 1999 showing that the new IS version of the lens had at
least comparable, if not better, optical performance than the non-IS
version, in contradiction of the early photodo/PS stuff.

Sounds like honesty and seller's hype are yet additional issues for you to
consider, Tom. You're going to be busy this weekend.


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?


Oh, ducky- you can't READ or THINK.

I choose not to overload my email spamguard with addresses harvested from
usenet "reply to's"'. My original post here includes my first name and my
email address (in the body of the text) inviting any questions, and if you
are too dense to understand that, you have my pity.


Tom P.


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

And exactly why should I respond to any request from a self-righteous
slandering hypocrite?

The auction is doing great, by the way!

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
the
God
of War with Mother Earth.'

Thanks,
Robert
