No offense taken. May be I was a bit naive, since I'm reading in the LuLa as guest for quite some time (started with gear reviews some years ago) and am feeling more at home here, than I obviously have any right to do.
I was thinking about approx. 12500$. I can send you some photos of my CFV50c and photos taken with it too, or I could upload some, if you want to evaluate the quality at high ISO, but these are really huge files.
I understand very well, that it is necessary to build trust before sending so much money to someone "known" only via the internet, if at all.
I had - at first - the same problem with the Hasselblad shop here in Japan, because they wanted a partial payment for becoming active. (It is not so easy to get a CFV50c here. I sent my first email on the first of December, the vendor got the unit on the 18th. - Hasselblad has some difficulties do deliver enough units at the moment, because there is quite some demand: the price of 1077000 Yen is really attractive, especially for non-pros.
In the meantime, I had exchanged emails on a nearly daily basis with the shop.)
So, what I can offer in this regard is a photo of my passport and a personal video contact via Skype: so you can see at least, who I am.
I'm a teacher in Germany, i.e. employed by the state in which I live, and my good reputation is essential for me.
Hope this clarifies things a bit.
P.S.: Shops are closed here in Japan from 30th of Dec. until 4th of January because of New year festivities.
