GOOEYDUCK
With a name like Gooeyduck, it's GOT to be good!
Our cameras take a licking and keep on clicking.
The buck stops here . . . hopefully.

Here is what you are bidding on:
Nice looking camera but with some issues.
Shutter does not work, meter does not react light, light fungus visible when you look in through the front of the lens.
Should be a nice one to repair, but only if you know what you are doing. Everyone who has ever worked on one of these cameras has told me that they are nightmares to work on.
Happy bidding!
Several Zen Thoughts
You don't need a motorcycle to be a motorcycle mechanic.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a flat tire.
It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
Many Plan B's work better than Plan A's. Consider trying Plan B first.
It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.
People who look behind the door have typically hidden there once or twice themselves.
If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Ditto for scuba diving.
Ditto for rock climbing.
Possible ditto for many marriages.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat & drink beer all day.
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
Never trust a dog to guard your lunch.
Don't squat with your spurs on.
Try to tell the truth whenever possible. It's easier to remember.
Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield.
Good judgment comes from bad experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
Timing has an awful lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
A closed mouth gathers no feet.
Duct tape is like The Force; it has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your mouth is moving.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Never miss a good chance to shut up.
How to make a small fortune selling cameras: Start with a large fortune.
CONDITION: It works as it should unless I fell you otherwise. Please assume that the item serves its intended function in all respects. I tend simply to say that something works perfectly in all respects, and let it go at that. On the other hand, if something does not work perfectly in all respects, then I tell you what's wrong with it.. There is no playing hide-the-ball here at scenic Gooeyduck Acres. However, if I do screw up and misdescribe something, then you can return the item for a full refund. Some times - but not often - I will do an after-the-fact price adjustment. With all this in mind, please do not send me the usual questions about fungus, scratches, self-timer, light meter, etc. If you want to strike up a dialog with me, that is not the way to do it. If a lens DOES have fungus in it, I usually throw it in the trash anyway.
Before asking me whether MY item will work with YOUR item., please check your instruction book or do a Google first. Just because I claim to know MY item does not necessarily mean that I know YOUR item. Oh, and before emailing me or bidding the item, please read the listing and look at the pictures. I try to provide your the information that you need to know.
SHIPPING: I try to charge flat-rate shipping whenever possible. This item is as follows:
$10 to the United States.
$24 any place else.
Except, that at time of invoicing, I adjust the charge for Canada down to slightly more than the rate for the U.S. If I spot an obvious and substantial overcharge at the time of invoicing, I will adjust downward. I don't try to get postage exact. If it's a couple dollars off one way or the other, I don't care, and I hope you don't either.
My weakness is in being timely. If you need something ASAP, you probably should not bid my items. If you are happy with getting something "within a few days," then let's do business together.
COMMUNICATION: If the question or comment regards the listed item, please communicate through eBay. If you wish to talk to me personally about something, please email me at gooeyduck@gooeyduck.net. Despite my spam filter, I get about 200 junk emails a day, so I might not immediately notice your email, but I do try to answer an email the same day that I receive it. Exceptions are when I am gone for the day. If I don't answer an email within a day or so, feel free to send me a reminder.
Now, get out there and take some pictures . . .
