•        Minolta XD7 Camera Body (also known as XD11 in USA) for Parts or Repair.

•        This camera needs a thorough clean but the underlying cosmetic condition is Very Good with only a little superficial marking and certainly no dings or dents.

•        Operationally the camera is locked up, even on the mechanical “O” setting and the metering lights are not showing at all.

Payment

I only accept payment by PayPal or Cash on Collection

UK Shipping

For UK Buyers, please bear in mind when considering the price that I am offering a "Fast & Free" P&P option together with a discounted next day delivery services if required - the price you see is all you need to pay!

Even so, and as my eBay feed-back will illustrate, all items are packed to a very high standard!

If you require a specific service option for your purchase then please advise and I will obtain a quotation for you.

The item(s) will be sent to your Pay-Pal address ONLY - please make sure your address is confirmed.

Overseas Buyers

I am happy to sell to overseas buyers and all my items are listed under the eBay Global Shipping Programme so if your country is covered by the programme then you can obtain full details of the shipping costs under the "Postage and Payments" tab of the listing.

Buyers may of course contact me to obtain a quotation if they prefer me  to send the item to them directly.

If your location is not covered by the eBay Global Shipping Programme then shipping costs will need to be handled on a case-by-case basis. Please contact me before bidding and I will obtain a quotation for you.

Import duties, taxes and charges are your responsibility. Unfortunately I cannot advise you on this so please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

Photos

These pictures are of the actual item up for sale and provide a clear indication of its condition. Please examine them carefully before bidding and if you are in any doubt about the suitability of the item for your needs then please do contact me and I will do my best to advise you.

Camera Metering & Shutter Speeds

To be absolutely correct I must highlight the accuracy of the metering and shutter speeds have not been technically tested but I have no reason to believe they are anything other than correct.

Batteries

Due to increasingly stringent regulations regarding postage of batteries, unless otherwise stated, all equipment is supplied without batteries.

Dust in Lenses

I always highlight any dust or other imperfections I see in a lens as I want to be scrupulously precise about the condition. However, as the two examples below demonstrate, the overwhelming consensus of an internet  search is that dust, fungus and even light physical damage has no effect whatsoever on picture quality.

Dear eBayer,

As you will see from my feed-back, I take pride in providing accurately described items at reasonable prices supported by great service & communication. Here are some recent feed-back examples:

“The item is in excellent condition; promptly posted; excellent communication”

“Fantastic buy. Received on time and item in excellent condition, as described”

So please buy with confidence knowing that your purchase will most likely exceed your expectations and, to the extent it doesn’t for some reason, you are protected by my 30 days return policy!
