My first long distance purchase: Pentax 80-200 with m4/3 adapter from iamsomnath to feed my G.A.S.

What can I say? He was more eager than me to ship it the same day to beat the coming holidays.

Positive feedback for two users :

1-Nirmalaya : Bought a 50mm 1.8D from him. Dealing was very smooth..the lens was delivered quickly, with safe packing & very good condition.

2- Rabin M : Bought a used Nikon D90 with Nikon MB-D80 battery grip from him. A straight-forward yet co-operative person to deal with. Both items were packed very well and delivered promptly. For 2+ yrs old items they were in wonderful condition..happy :)

Hey Nirmalya,

Congrats on your purchase.. and as you mentioned...

"Since he is a newbee with only 4 posts in his credit and no buy/sell history, I did some google search in his name, and found that he is working in IT industry and could also see his picture. That built up my confidence and I went ahead."  - you could have checked his family background, bank accounts his savings and then bought it   :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

what a way to buy lens from a fellow member... trust me i shouldn't have sold my stuff to you atleast.

I really feel insulted the way it is been mentioned here. In forum we have that much of trust while buying and selling..

Sorry to say this but couldn't control myself...

Your anger may be justified Alok. However, there had been very nasty and painful experiences some forum members had with sellers who are new and virtually unknown. There had been instances of sellers sending out bad products in the pretext of 'Mint Condition' and never respond. When you are interacting in a virtual world, 'TRUST' becomes even more fragile and it needs other ways of assurances. If my neighbour who moved in 4 days ago asks for my bike, I would surely have aprehensions. The trust you are refeerring to on a forum or even this forum has to have some basis. One of that is post count. When that doesnt look promising, obviously the buyer would look for other ways. Dont take it personally. Whenever you find time, refer to the 'FROWN' thread and you would know what am talking about.

Just bought Dr. Urvish's 24-85mm G VR lens. Product was Like New & exactly as described. More importantly, he is a wonderful person & it was a pleasure to buy his lens. Thanks Dr. Urvish

Not strictly about buy/sell - met Aditya Ecka and friend last Friday, and had a great time gossiping about cameras and photography :)

Thanks to both!

I purchased Nikon 50mm f1.4D lens from Parampreet - http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,30632.0.html.

Since he is a newbee with only 4 posts in his credit and no buy/sell history, I did some google search in his name, and found that he is working in IT industry and could also see his picture. That built up my confidence and I went ahead.

The lens is just like new, with 2 years of Nikon warranty. It came with all the accessories and paper works. Packing was great and hence everything went very smooth.

He is highly recommended in the buy-sell activities.

Thanks Parampreet.

Just saw this. Thanks for the good words, Guru. I'm glad we had a good productive transaction!

Brought a Zenza Bronica Middle-Format-Camera with a couple of lenses, film rolls and hop-ups. Pramod went out of the way to deliver the camera to me as I couldn't move out of the house because of a strained back. He went through the trouble of setting up Skype calls to show me how to operate, load film and the various features. Really appreciated that.

The camera showed up a few hours later and the condition was BETTER than described in his advert.

Definitely someone I would do business with or just engage with to discuss photography. His passion is evident in the way the equipment has been maintained and used.

A++
