Hi Walter,

I have an NX1 sitting here waiting for me to get my ass in gear and put up for sale. Very good working condition with one caveat. I bought it from CEX (UK) and discovered some weeks into using it that the tripod thread was stripped. I bought a kit from Ebay to repair it but did not get it 100% right. With my tripod plate it won't screw in dead flat by hand and requires you to finish tightening with an allen key. There is some file marks to the base as a result of my handiwork! I should've really used CEX warranty but I thought it might take a long time or be a hassle and the diy videos online made it look a simple repair.

Anyway, pm me if you are interested. I live in Corby, Northants.

Funnily enough I got my nx1 from cex as well around 3 years ago and it's still serving me well. I'm from Kettering just around the corner from you!

Small world! I shouldn't have bought mine, it was seldom used. i got it for sports/action and used alongside a Pentax K-3 and Panasonic GX80. I still have an NX500 body to sell also. I was in the process of selling a lot of gear when I had a disagreement with Ebay over a snooker cue my g/son sold. He used my Ebay account but whilst up he sold it to a mate. I pulled the sale and Ebay suspended me and charged me - suspecting me of doing a cash deal to avoid paying fees. I did no such thing but hey/ho! It made my blood boil and I pulled all my gear off Ebay and told them to shove their account.

Oddly enough it's cured my GAS. I spent thousands every year on camera gear and Ebay have lost their cut because they are greedy and charged me £30 for a sale in which they played no part. Now I'm just enjoying what I have and I don't expect to be replacing any gear any time this year that's for sure. Had this debacle with Ebay not happened I would've bought a grey import Sony A9 this week. I don't even check out CEX now. Last time I looked I stopped myself saying why? I already have a good selection of lenses and cameras and anything added makes something I already have obsolete. I moan at the wife for her constant need to redecorate the house and I'm doing the same thing only with photography gear! No more. There's still a little voice inside that wants more gear but he's easily ignored - so far!
