That was an interesting experience. Back here I was complaining about my Canon A-1 camera's flash attachment dying. Someone suggested I look for a replacement on eBay, and further to see if it could be found in-state. Lo and behold, there was one! So I bid on it (first time I've ever tried eBay for anything), and after a couple of overbids, I won the thing! It's in mint condition, and works like a charm. Better yet, I arranged to meet the seller and hand him the money directly; no shipping required. Judging from the price the used camera store (second link) suggested, I got a buy at $51.00, too. Whoopee!
It can't always be that simple, can it?
