I thought I would post here today to say this thread is closed, but .....
On Nov. 11 I won an eBay auction for the desired camera. Before bidding, I asked if the camera (looked great in the pictures) was fully operative and the Seller confirmed this to be the case. I paid nothing less than US$53 for postage (arrived 12 days later - a Courier would have been faster and probably cheaper, but there was no option) and the only thing the camera does when I turn it on is flip open the flash. That's all - nothing else (I changed the battery to see if that was the problem, but no).
The camera looks as if it were brand new although it came without any accesory. This was OK with me, since I have all the accesories (cables, booklets, etc) from my camera that was stolen.
I am requesting a full refund from the Seller (Goodwill Industries from Northern New England) - I feel so frustrated .....
