A few weeks ago I stumbled upon this weird eBay auction and knew I had to bid on it to see what shows up. But is it too good to be true?

A couple of weeks ago I won an auction for a Blackmagic Ursa Mini Pro G2. I was looking for a B4 mount and that listing came up. When I checked under "ursa mini" in the search, it didn't come up. There was only one other bid but I won it at the end. I ended up paying $2200 USD for it and it included a B4 mount on top of that! The bonus was that the camera was listed as "open box" and after messaging the seller, he told me he had closed his camera store an this camera had been on display in his store and never even turned on! I also got the Davinici Resolve Studio license and full warranty. Crazy.

Maybe, but at 12 years old with only 300-odd hours and in near pristine condition, I think it’s more likely to have sat in a closet unused somewhere for the past decade and was inherited by someone who didn’t know anything about cameras.

@daviddd_edgar 3 дня назад

If it's listed under a different model, it's likely because it was stolen. People use this tactic to sell stolen gear and prevent their listings from appearing in eBay searches conducted by law enforcement looking for stolen items.

I got a film Camera with a listing like this that claimed they couldn't test it but everything looked fine (they literally said everything looked fine and they expected it to work) etc. But as soon as I got it, I know it wasn't going to work, and there was no way they could have sold it not knowing that also since they seemed to have basic camera knowledge (the mirror was locked up). But to be fair to them even if they were potentially lying by omission , they did say condition unknown etc. So I resolved to just not give them any feedback at all. 😅 which for the money they got I'm sure they were fine with.

@errol3184 12 дней назад

@xp8969 I think a night out at the strip club would be a wiser choice for the money than your suggested "bargain," bro. There is nothing to be that excited about here. That's the point. I'm just putting a little extra spunk on it with the sarcasm...in both comments. Big, heavy and little to no modern features. No 4K or autofocus. I wouldn't even use an Arri Classic for the same reasons. Even the A7siii can pull a cleaner and sharper image these days and that's on the Arri. Original C500 is about to be forgotten, hence the price break. Not much value anymore. Maybe with a video guy with no need for composition, dr or resolution. Just follow the action with sound and their all good.

I bought a used 70d for 80 bucks that couldnt be turned on. On the listing the guy said that he was taking a video and it froze and couldnt be turned on anymore. He sent it to be checked and canon said that internal electronics need to be fixed. When it got to me i charged the battery to 100% and it works fine lol. I did this like 10 times now where people think their cameras arent working and they turned off because they werent used for some time. I made so much money reselling those that it feels like a cheat in the system lol

@paolo.kernahan 12 дней назад

Looks like the internal battery is dead (?) At least the date display suggests that. This means you will have to keep a charged battery in the camera at all times and use an adapter to change the battery. Otherwise, you will have to reset all of your settings every time you use the camera. It's not that big a deal, to be honest. Yeah, those cameras predated the autofocus frenzy.

I saw couple of them sold for around 500$ this autumn, but i decided not to buy one because it's image quality not worth it's difficulties with recorders.

Yeah I guess..... But this was listed as parts so if it didn't work it would have been "parts - as described", i.e. an accurate listing. So no money back.

@davidgriffin79 12 дней назад

@@Rareparrot Even if the item is listed as no returns, you would still get your money back; Ebay is very much stacked against the seller; this is why it's a pain to sell on Ebay these days, remorse buyer's make up the most pathetic excuse to return items, usually under "not as described" and 99% of the time will get their money back. As an example, I had a pair of headphones returned because the cloth on the headband was "too wavy"; the buyer was actually trying to vie for a discount but it didn't work so he chose to return the headphones.

@Rareparrot 12 дней назад

@@davidgriffin79 I agree 100% about it being difficult as an ebay seller. So true. I was just trying to say that if an item is listed as parts, it doesn't have to work. So if in the video above the camera had been faulty, as it was listed as parts, too bad. I wasn't talking about the no returns policy.
