I buy most gear used, and judge value for money relative to its

intended use (so I accept gear that is honestly described, if the

price is right and the faults are tolerable for me). For what I do

now, I have an excess of gear, some highly desireable

(VX2000, TRV900, Nikon), but I am honest enough to

describe these thoroughly, including not only the faults (and how

to get around them), but the virtues of these particular samples.

When I buy, I prefer this; when I sell, I do this also. And, BTW,

the TRV950 had no faults (I just didn't like it), and the TRV30,

PC9, and one of the TRV900s have no functional faults either,

so you did not read the descriptions very thoroughly...;-) And

there is also a lot of mint-perfect or perfect-function still camera

gear on my site - so I think you owe me an appology for your

sweeping, inaccurate, and possibly damaging post.
