For sale, PRAKTICAR MC 35-70mm 1:3.5-4.5 zoom camera lense. Used but in good working condition, some very, very minor signs of wear but nothing damaged, i:e to lenses and shutter ext. Been listed though as a SPARES/REPAIR as the lenses' bayonet is missing. No real history or drama's behind why I'm flogging it, this was was spare from a second hand Prakticar I owned, done a photography course in college, this was my weapon of choice. I sold the cam last year it was just sitting up in the loft for ages, I only did the one term. Forgot about the spare lense it came with - as I found it recently in the same box! lol Bit dusty but wasn't damaged, carefully cleaned it, obviously no good to me anymore, sell it makes a quid or two to fund a guitar build project I'm currently into :)
NOTES:
Used but in good condition (SEE PICS) Actual lenses, the glass, not broken in anyway, no cracks or chips. Shutter mechanism functions as intended nothing damaged. I think its missing a back part? I'm not 100% sure, I was just a novice so I can't really tell if its missing any parts or not. It didn't come with a lense cap however but again, no damage or any mis-functioning parts (again SEE PICS)
Now for the boring bits. Postage will be standard 1st class but if you want something more secure like recorded signed for, drop me a line and I'll sort it out for you :) Collection in person is also listed as an option. For international buyers, Royal Mail standard international post has been selected. I also offer offer Royal Mail economy international postage as a cheaper alternative but I warn you it's SERIOUSLY SLOW! It can take an item posted from here, going anywhere in the world, doesn't matter where, up to 2 MONTHS, yes two MONTHS to eventually be delivered! It doesn't go by plane - boat! A 19th century steam boat I reckon!! It may be cheaper but an absolute joke in terms of delivery time. Id STRONGLY advise you take the international standard option as its a lot quicker. Its 100% up to you though :) As applies with UK buyers though, if you want something more secure but faster, contact me before hand so I can get a price as our mail services varies on sizes/dimensions and weights. For all buyers, I will of course combine postage on multiple purchases no probs, please wait for final invoice before you pay though otherwise you might pay more than necessary! Payment options have been put down but cash on collection is preferable if you choose this option, Paypal is a con at times!! lol Feedback will be left of course only after though receiving feedback at my end (Had a some bad experiences in the past, can be some really nice people out there!) Please note also, that I DO NOT make any gains through postal charges, the price put down includes packing materials and also covers paypal/ebay fees. If you're a seller yourself you'll know what a liberty these are!
***PAYMENT MUST BE MADE WITHIN 3 DAYS****
If not the unpaid item process will automatically kick in. By which time the buyer will be given an additional 5 days to pay. Once the 5 days have expired and no payments have been made nor any contact been established with the buyer, the case will close automatically and I will report you to ebay.
If you're having any problems PLEASE CONTACT ME, 9 times out of 10 I reply within a day, normally within an hour as i receive all my e-mails on my phone. I have been a buyer and seller since 2006. This account had to be opened recently as my original was hacked and I had to close my old one. On this one or my oldie though I have NEVER left an unpaid item hit on anyone's account, there have been problems kicked up before, paypal throwing wobblers, bank doesn't want to let you spend your money, Hurricane, Earthquakes, World coming to an end, all those silly little things lol But its always been sorted between myself and the buyer, all worked out, smiles and cuddles. Well not cuddles as such because you can't cuddle someone over a computer screen - but you get the picture lol. Its a record I stand by very highly, please don't make yourself by the first.
No returns, I'm afraid. Unfortunately I've had a spate of dishonest buyers out there trying to con me out of items (and funds) I've previously sold. Saying it was faulty or damaged, opening a return request, happily accepting it only never receiving it after it was 'supposedly' posted back, with everything I provided then having a case opened against me for a refund and when they don't manage to succeed, I get negative feedback just out of spite.
****The latest, one eBay member 'sufyakah0' thought it was clever to try and con me, demanding a refund, saying the item he bought was damaged, the charging plug on the item was smashed and the metal contact was missing (one of my old work mob phones) with some beautifully bright colourful language mixed in from him too. Ah but hang on a minute fella, take a look at the photos and you'll see its fine there - try again! Got in touch with eBay CS, explained and they advised me on what to do. They saw through the lies, the photos were proof that no such damage was present and or any missing pieces on the handset. As such, no refund was given. End of story? Fraid not! Soon after, the next day I start receiving extremely abusive e-mails from him, THREATS and best of all RACIST slurs, yes - RACIST! I've had jokers before, send me abusive emails before, you're this, you're that, I'm gonna do this to ya blah, blah, blah. Big, brave and hard only at a computer screen though, couldn't/can't be bothered just let it wash, why rise to it. This little idiot though, whole new level! Was so shocked i decided no, why let him get away with it, trying to con me out here but then sends this sort of rubbish?! The icing on the cake was that sadly i wasn't the only one to cop his flake judging by his recent feedback. No chance! Not only did i file a report with eBay, sent in all the messages he sent me. Even the lady i spoke with, eBay customer service she was thrown back by what she red when pulling up the messages, I also decided to get the Police involved solely based on the nature of the messages, the crime number; 42/92153/16. I repeat some lovely people out there! Thankfully the action was taken and his eBay account has now been fully suspended/taken down as of 19/9/16.
I've now added this to all my listing descriptions, this isn't to be malicious and or start slinging mud I could easily put the buyers details down, full name, address ext but that's not I'm doing here. I've again unfortunately had a lovely big number of people out there in the past try similar tactics not only with this but on my old selling account too. This is all purely to warn other members, especially new sellers/buyers to this gig there can be some real nasty so 'n' so's out there. Its also putting my case across that I'm no rogue, crook, dodgey seller whatever you wanna call me, the absolute majority of my feedback speaks for itself. If you're out to try and hang me then my suggestion is keeping scrolling through and look elsewhere Motorola because frankly i haven't got time for it. If though you're genuine and your intentions are purely good, then I'll do my absolute to help you out as best I can :) At the end of the day, I'm the sort of bloke that speaks my mind but at the same time, wears my heart on my sleeve. All I want to do like any other decent seller here on eBay is make a quid or two, in my case to raise money to re-build one of my beloved Bass guitars. I'm passionate about my music, Bass especially. Have been for over 20 years now. I also sell old odds and sods to raise/make back dosh for gig tickets, new gear i:e a T-shirt, upgrades or repairs for my guitars, digs when or if I'm away on a gig ourselves ext I work but most of what i earn - BILLS!! lol If I can raise a few quid on here and there though, make someone happy with whatever they buy off me, that'll do me nicely. The 'DELIVERY IN PERSON' option i offer too is just my way of showing my gratitude for helping me out with a sale that ultimately gets my project moving forward :)****
I'm a 100% seller, I operate an honest gig, always have, always will. I even throw in extra bits when or if the fees aren't as high as expected or post a faster service, being more expensive but then using the 'gains' I might have got through reduced fees. I don't abuse the system like a select few out there do but because of this, I've now had to state 'No returns' on my listings.
***HOWEVER***
(UK BUYERS ONLY)
If collection in person will be a bit of agro for you, depending on your distance, if you're not too far away, preferable the London/Essex areas, arrangements can be made for the myself or a family member/friend to drop it off to you in person free of any charge, you just pay for the item that's it - NO CATCH! Lol I own a Freedom pass being disabled, mullered ankle from a car accident many moons back now, physically disabled for the rest of my life. Basically I can use public transport for free, small perk i suppose lol Plus i don't mind travelling :) May want to save a couple of penny's on postage? But then collection in person might not be possible for you either. It'll depend on the day and again distance, I work shifts and odd days so we'll have to work around it. Give me a tug with an email and we'll go from there :)
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me, again I usually reply within a half hour - an hour. Thanks for looking :)
