I may have been the victim of a fraud on Nikonians.......

Sat 01-Mar-08 04:35 PM | edited Sun 02-Mar-08 07:20 AM by delaneyb
Stupid really, but 10 days ago I parted with £740 on the offer of a 17-35mm f2,8 and 50mm f1.4 from a Nikonian after i posted on WTB.
Other than one communication last tuesday, I have no lenses, no tracking number and no response. If all is well, I'll apologise, but I'm getting a bit concerned - its not small change!

the correspondence is below:

I've reported it to Paypal, little more I can do. Any suggestions?
-----------------

Hi Brendan,

i can confirm via my wife the item has been shipped to your work address, i will be calling her after work today to get the number, i will forward onto yourself as soon as i have spoken to her, sorry for the delay in email response time zone is a killer,

Thanks

Peter

It would be Royal Mail Special Delivery
£20 should cover it.
£740 for both with postage?

Hi Brendan

it is the D version, i purchased with the view to going to the D3,
but it is no longer possible

i am happy with either a cheque or paypal, if you want to send paypal
then this email address is my paypal address, off the top of my head
i cant recall how much thgey weigh so i cant get a postage quote, do
you have a prefered carrier?

OK fine
I'd pay £600 for the 17-35 and £120 for the 50mm 1.4 (so long as it
is the D version).
Plus postage, cheque or paypal as you prefer.

Brendan,

Allow me to apologise for any confusion.

I have a 17-35mm and a 50mm 1.4 which i believe are 2 of the items
you are looking for?

Once again i apologise for confusion i may have caused.

pete,
Can we just get this correct?
IF you have the 17-35 THIRTY FIVE mm lens I'd be willing to pay £600
for it. Could you let me know today.
I have a Nikon D3 so I'm not interested in a 17-55 DX
Thanks

Hi Brendan

it was a typo ops

i just got myself a d2x being a keen amateur but guess the lenses i
brought were a little too much for the mrs, i told her i was keeping
my new 80-400 tho, divorce comes before that goes heh

but these and a 85 1.4 have to parted with alas

Hiya,

i have got 2 of the lenses your after, the 50mm 1.4 and the 17-55mm i
overspent before checking with her whom must be obeyed!

becuase of my job i cant promise when i might be able to disptach,
would be within a week or so though.

Let me know what you are willing to offer

the 50mm came 2nd hand is in excellent condition the 17-55 is pretty
much NIB, only had it out to run some pics through it,

but as i already said she whom must be obeyed has ordered these
little things to be taken out of her sight, was going to put them on
a certain auction site

Regards

Pete
