As the listing stated:

Canon 5D Mark II DSLR Camera – Body Only – Spares or Repairs

We have tested this camera and found the following fault:

The camera powers up, however the sensor is damaged and images are recorded either blank or unusable, and so we are describing this item as FAULTY / SPARES / REPAIRS.

Shutter Count: 69,970

EBay
90% off. What have I brought?

I noticed this 5D on sale earlier for £109 Gbp. It’s from a supplier who has a good reputation who I have used before, however he suddenly drops the price by 90% and I snap his arm off for this. It has sensor issues and that’s at least a £70 price just for that part. Considering how much these cameras usually retail for it’s a price I could absorb…but I think something else must have come to light for him to change his pricing. The body is pretty beaten up, again I’m not too bothered with that, the usb port might be damaged by the looks of it and again that’s something I can sort.

I guess I’ll just have to await its imminent arrival. In any case for a total of £9.99 GBP I’ll make more from this just for spare parts.

    1. Absolutely Marc, that crossed my mind that it’s bound to be something fairly terminal around the shutter area. I’ll give it a good look over and run some tests, and who knows, it might not be so bad.
