No problem! Sorry if I came off crabby.

"He"/She" has GOT to be totally joking
In fact, "He/She" is him/herself a total "Joke" but, then, that's what "He/She" maybe actually "intended" - either way, "He/She" should "you know what" up!

Minolta XD-S | eBay

A mere bagatelle for a really minty Minolta XD, brand new according to the seller, who knew that they came from the factory missing their shutter speed dial and covered in crud. Might have been a special edition though

You missed his best bargains. Here is snip. The only clue as to what is inside the box is on the label : "DUNGS".
FedEx /DHL NEW MB-ZRDLE420B01S20 | eBay

It's brand-new, unused, unopened, and the postage is free. What are we waiting for?

Some of his other items seem a little suspect, too - I had not realised that either FedEx or DHL made lenses for Nikon.

Here is a very special one of a kind K110D. It can do video. Sigh...

All seven images are very similar - maybe if you run them through quickly, it'll look like a video.

No price, no details, poor picture. This will sell quickly. Or not.

It appears to be a 'double gas valve' - whatever one of those may be. No doubt essential because of the dungs (plural).

Macro Zoom Camera Lens | in Norwich, Norfolk | Gumtree

I enquired what camera this fits Apparently 'it's a small one, with a 49mm thread'.

I wish I could go out and find a brick wall to bang my head against.

To the novice and unknowing anything bigger than a stoopit phon or a pocket sized point and shoot is a "professional" camera. I get that everywhere I go. Pull out the DSLR, and immediately the question, "Are you a professional?"

Um, no.

Professional amateur maybe.

Professional professional?

Not even.

It is a bugbear of mine as well. Here is an example:

Digital SLR - NIKON D90 PROFESSIONAL DSLR CAMERA BODY ** NIKON ** for sale in Johannesburg (ID:462891268)

Yes, the D90 is a professional camera.

Now this is the pits. Some utterly clueless person trying to make a quick sale in challenging times.

The truth is that this thing is no good for spotting virusses. You need an electron microscope for that.
