Hello all!

I may be looking to fill a hole in my collection....

I have a display collection and I am missing the last film camera - Pentax *ist.

It does not need to be in working condition, if that is reflected in the price.

Would need to include shipping to Edmonton, Alberta T6L 6T1.

If you got one you're willing to pass on, let me know!

Thanks,
Stephen

If I can find a fully working one at a "sensible" price I'll let you have my current camera (faulty shutter button, works with a cable switch) for the cost of postage from Jersey CI, which currently is £30 GBP (just over $50 Canadian) if that's any use to you.
Unfortunately trans-Atlantic postage has escalated dramatically over the last few years!

Last time I bought from Japan I was charged (by the delivery man at the door) something like 20% duties.
Thanks for the suggestion though! Never even heard of buyee...
Cheers!

Well the first one would be (at current price)... $6 USD in duties at 20% sales price... or around $36 USD all told. With shipping, looks like about $55 CDN + duties.

I purchased some japanese towels / washcloths via buyee and it was pretty painless - took about a week to arrive.
