Caught a guy on eBay trying to sell a 'mint' Pentax K1000 with the mirror foam completely melted

He had it listed as 'no issues' but the photos showed goo dripping down into the viewfinder, and I knew right away because I've replaced that foam on 3 of those bodies this year alone. Anyone else get tired of calling out sellers who miss obvious stuff like this?

Ha, I've definitely been that guy with the goo before.

Oh man, that goo dripping into the viewfinder is always a fun surprise. Reminds me of the time I bought a "clean" Canon AE-1 and found petrified camera strap leather glued to the bottom plate.

That sticky viewfinder goo is the worst, I feel your pain on that one.
