Let's see, seller says "Used! No Warranty. Wear & Tear. Shutter fine, meter
fine. Should have CLA."
Also starting bid of $110 with no reserve.
But it turns out the flash doesn't fire...
My opinion: $292 plus the cost of a CLA (which will probably get the flash
fixed) sounds like a good value. My reasoning, bargain grade 4t's (in need of a
CLA) go for $400 to $500. Further everything the seller stated as working,
works. The camera is usable, just not with flash and the text contained ample
reason for caution, and to expect that it would need work. Then again, my
thinking is probably being influenced by purchasing my OM-4 for $300 and then
finding out that the flash didn't work... a 4T sounds like a better deal (John H
mended it for me)
But if you're disappointed do contact them and see if you can work something
out. In particular have in mind what you want from them. To return the camera
for your money back less shipping charges? Something back towards fixing the
flash when you get the CLA? Personally, I'd expect them to decline politely but
it doesn't hurt to ask (again politely).
