I wonder if I've been ripped off? (;-)
Time will tell. I just bought an Olympus i Zoom 75 for $11.50 + $8.50 for
shipping and insurance for my bride off of ebay. This is the 4th one of these
little APS camera I've purchased. The first three were bought at full retail
from the local retailer and although I don't recall exactly what the first 3
cost, it seems like somewhere around $200 to $250. Why so many purchases? The
first was lost in a Taxi in Washington, DC, the second was a replacement for
the
first, the third was gift to my daughter. With two young children, it got
bounced around a bit and now doesn't work. My bride gave my daughter her
camera
and now I have replaced it for $20. If it works, which I feel sure it will,
I will be thrilled. There have been a few purchases from ebay which didn't
measure up, however they are far outweighed by the really good deals from "the
bay". Bill Barber
