a little sketchy because they have no previous sales and because they live in a different country.

additionally, the seller only joined ebay 3 days ago, and the item description contains this line; "Comes with: 1 (one) Battery, a charger, Remote Control." They basically just said that the camera wouldn't be included.  But I may just be overanalyzing idk

so i emailed the guy asking some questions about the condition of the camera and warranty and such and this is what he said: 


There is no damage to the camera, visible or otherwise. There
are no nicks, dents, buffs, scratches, or defects. It has been
used only once and excellently cared for. All the items coming
with the camera are shown in the picture above and listed in
another response.
I am selling the camera in such excellent condition because I
originally bought it for a project with some colleagues that fell
through, and now my life is moving in a different direction, and I
need the money. While I still hold a passion for film-making, I
do not see myself using the camera in the foreseeable future so
it's best to pass it off to someone who will get some use out of
it, while at the same time get some much needed cash.

Unfortunately since I have bought the camera I've done some
moving around. While the camera itself is in perfect condition, I
cannot say the same thing for the manuals, receipt, etc. While
you may not have a claim to a warranty, you will be purchasing
a "like new" camera at a solid discount.


sounds legit to me but i still don't know

i'd buy it.  can't you put a hold on the paypal transaction so he doesn't get the money till you get the camera or something?  if you can do that then you should definitely buy it.

As long as you go through Paypal you should be covered. And I mean everyone has 0 feedback at one point.
