Well, it says it's a Hasselblad right on it.  Hope it has the dark slide.

My "funny ebay ads" were meant to be entertaining and informative, not misleading.  Anyone can see with half an eye that the "Hasselblad" label was printed on paper and affixed to the camera.  Does he think people are complete morons?

Yes, he probably does.  And yes, they probably are.  And yes, he'll probably sell it.   :rolleyes:

Seeing as there are two bids, with three days left and no reserve, I'd say it's going to sell.  Just wonder for how much?  Just think, you could have a whole line of expensive, hard to find cameras, for just an initial investment of a few bucks worth of junkers, and some labeling.  :rolleyes:

Ha!  At least with the Soviet Luftwaffe Leicas, somebody spent some money on the conversion, what with the engraving that had to be done.  How much does it cost to print "Hasselblad" on a strip of paper and glue it to a box camera?

Makes me wonder if the seller bought it in that condition, found out he'd been defrauded, and decided to pass the fraud onto someone else.
