BARGAIN (1 Left) - Pentax Optio 7.4mp 5x Optical zoom compact digi cam

Ebuyer quickfind code: 89322

I was looking to buy a Pentax Optio 750z as its a relatively small camera with a 5x optical zoom lens (which is hard to find on a small camera) and it takes SD/MMC cards and I have a 1gb mmc going spare

I very nearly bought one from pixmania for £260 until I saw Ebuyer had two in stock marked as "OPEN BOX"

There only £180.47 (with super saver delivery) which is a saving of £79.53 over the pixmania site. Ebuyer also have them brand new for £220.26 inc p+p (£39.79 more than open box)


If anyones after a bargain compact digi cam with a really nice zoom lens on it then here you go :D

Loads of other bargins in there open box "blowout" section too ;)

Hope someone finds it useful

    how reliable are these open box cameras. It says:

    "Please note: An "Open Box" product in our blowout category may not always be complete. Accessories such as manuals, cables, and drivers may not ship with these products.

    Unfortunately, we are unable to give advice as to which accessories are included with this item. "

    has anyone ordered one of these and found it to be incomplete? what happens if the charger and cradle are missing? can you still send it back?

    Yeah, without a doubt you can send it back if it arrives with missing parts that make it totally unusable i.e. the battery or charger.

    Its a risk im prepared to take for the chance of a bargain, a lot of open box products are probably just missing manuals or the original box etc...

    Try it and see, nothing to loose

    thanks although is ebuyer any better thank savastore? i had a hell of a time trying to return stuff to them.. they just didnt want to know

    Also i see there is only a warrenty of 90 days? This will surly be the ebuyer warrenty but could the manufacturers warrenty be challenged after this period?

    Ebuyer are a little slow with returns i think but it gets done eventually. Got to rememeber they sell a hell of a lot of stuff so there returns / call centres are usually jammed.... but thats how they keep prices down

    I bought one of these under the exact same terms about 2 weeks ago and it arrived in perfect order, with everything it should have.

    Excellent camera and I have had nearly every pentax camera there is!

    Received my camera yesterday.

    Everything present and correct, just one of the cables had been removed from its bag and put back in so it was damaged packaging. Im certainly not complaining for £40 off :D

    Really nice camera too :)

    Still one left in stock ......
