Unusual toy camera for sale
« on: September 20, 2008, 06:51:30 PM »
Hello all, sorry I know I never post on here,mainly because I am shooting less and less on polaroid etc but thought I would give you guys a heads up first before I head on over to ebay. I have owned a Diane style toy camera for a few years now and never used it, I bought it in what looks like brand new unused condition. Not sure when it was manufactured but at a guess I reckon it is mid 70s. I could be way wrong though! Made in Hong Kong.

The camera is called DEBONAIR, it comes with original box, manual and a little attachable flash which is still in its little plastic bag inside of the camera is totally clean. Looks unused.

If anyone is interested drop me an email jimbus(dot)green@gmail(dot)com I would prefer it to go to a good home, it is just not being used here. Otherwise I will stick it on ebay in a few days.

Cheers
Jim
p.s. sorry if it's not the right etiquette to post for sale's in the forum, feel free to delete if so.

Actually, Jim, the reason you don't post here any more is because you think you're better than the rest of us. The thing is, you're not. Sean has 6 of those cameras; you only have 1. He rules. You suck.
