I'm not that interested, but I'd be curious to see your correspondence
with him.

Checking KEH prices, $115 doesn't look ridiculous for a used SF1n. It
does seem a little low, but not atypical for a private transacation. I
know I've sold stuff rather cheap to people from this list.
BTW, here's a zeiss jena zoom:

I don't have to prove anything. You're the one implying this guy is a
fraud, you're the one who should show some proof. Actually, you don't
even need to do that, just give a more detailed description of what
happened, or post the correspondence.
I don't know this guy from Adam, but now my only impression of him is
what you've provided. Unfortunately, it's not very detailed.
- You didn't tell us how he represented the camera or lens.
- You didn't state specifically if he refused to give his address.
- You didn't tell us the pricing.
- You didn't tell us how far you talked him down.
- You didn't tell us how he wanted you to pay.
- You didn't tell us if a warranty period was specified.
- You didn't tell us if he represented himself as a dealer or private
seller.
People warn about bad sellers on this forum every once in a while, and
it's appreciated. However, I think it's very important that when someone
does, they give specifics. You didn't.
