hi, what do other members make of this seller on ebay in china, currently has a gf777 and a toshiba 983 both seem to be in mint condition but expensive, i have had my eye on both these models for some time, i wonder what the chances are of one making it to the uk in one piece....

I have one from that seller, and I wouldn't use the word mint - it is in good condition, and everything works. This is what I expected at that price so I am happy. From reading other threads here, I gather it can be hit and miss as others have had problems.

Depends on your attutude to risk.

with Ewen where there has been other threads alerting members because of their experiences with sellers from China. Then there are others who say the contrary, so it's up to you to make a final decision.

Hey, welcome Ewen to the forum.

Its a crap shoot which ever way you look at it.

Snake eyes on the first roll.
