Not sure if this is allowed, but I've bought a few things off one particular eBay seller. When I contacted her about the first item (a lens) she said it was all her husband's kit.
The lens turned up and was mint.
So I ordered a Minolta Himatic G2 - and that turned up and was also mint.
So I ordered an XG-M and two lenses (and they were mint). She also threw in a Vivitar light-meter which is also mint.
I keep looking at her listings (and trying to stop myself buying more) and she's just uploaded a shed load more. Including some brand new in box AF kit.
5000, 500Si, 600Si, couple of 7000s. If someone was after some cheap Minolta kit, then I can send you the link.
If it was her husband's then he must have been a Minolta dealer or had ridiculous GAS. Ther must have been 10 manual cameras originally, and now there's a load of AF stuff (plus a couple of manuals left).
Anyway, just thought some of you may be interested. I obviously can't vouch for it all, but honestly, based on the stuff I've bought, I'd say most of it hasn't been used.
