> I have a new in the box Olympus XA4...never used. If you remember by the
> time the XA4 was released, the camera was no longer sold in what was called
> the black plastic "presentation box" but in a see-through box which was
> nestled inside a cardboard box. In contrast to prior XA models, you could
> not buy the XA4 with the flash...it was an accessory (which the man didn't
> have). I bought this from a older fellow who was closing his camera store.
> At his insistence, I let him install batteries, but removed them when I got
> home. It comes with the manual, all cards and Olympus data and the still
> wrapped carry cord which doubles as the measure for macro focus. The XA4 was
> interesting in that the lens returned more to the design of the XA series but
> with macro ability. It also has DX ability. The box has a small nick where
> it looks like a corner of another box may have hit it, otherwise fine.

> If you have any interest in a new XA4, I believe this may be the last one of
> these you could find. Since eBay began I'll say I've never seen a single new
> one listed and I've never heard of another being offered on any forum. I
> paid $299 plus 8.25% tax. I've offered this at APUG and one other forum, and
> I think I mentioned it once here last summer. Several people have wanted to
> buy it, however they're all in other countries and sadly that hasn't worked.
> Why? Either I must lie about the value and ship with no insurance or they
> must pay 20% or more in VAT. If you're in another country and this isn't a
> problem, there is no reason I wouldn't sell the camera to you, but the price
> below reflects what I can do for US buyers...the postage & insurance abroad
> would be more, and we'd need to work out something equitable.
>
>
> So, if you want it and if you live in the USA, I'll sell for $250 and I'll
> pay for insured shipping. If you want to see images of it, please let me
> know.

> Best regards,
> Jon
