SONY CX12 is a memorystick HD camera from mid-2008. Comes with Sony wide angle lens, disc, 4gb sony memorystick, battery, docking station, USB wire, power cord (NTSC - north american), 1year extra warranty for USA only, 2months world wide warranty remaining.. **It's in perfect working order and body/lens is without any scratches.

This model rocks because you needn't buy any additional memory cards. Just record until the card fills up, then you can use a computer and a very cheap external hard drive and transfer the videos to the external hard drive. Erase the video on the memorystick and you are good to go. It's very small and sleak and can easy pack into a purse or jacket pocket!

**600,000won

so provide a link so we can check your claim.

It's a popular model and hard to find used ones. I did find a used one on amazon.com for $799 USD. **KEEP IN MIND, my comes with a Sony wide angle lens adapter ($60) and a US extra year warranty

1,002,248.97 won

So, for the "honor" of living in Korea, I get to pay 300,000 more won for a product? WOW!!! I feel so lucky.

I don't think it's fair to address the exchange rate when both parties are living in Korea (the difference that you are noting is actually based on what Koreans would pay for something new from the US, not something an American would buy from another American). We could buy low in America, come to Korea, sell high, and make a nice profit from people who feel like kings and queens squandering their money.

The Korean government has decided to cap the economy so we lose 20% of our earnings (read it, it's in the paper). It isn't that the won shouldn't be worth more, it's the government has decided they don't want it to be worth more so they can export.

If you are aware of this, you should be selling things closer to 1,000 won/dollar. What difference does it make if you sell item A to person 1 for 200, and they sell another item for 200 or if you sell that same item for 100? The middle to last guy loses out in the end, and the first person ends up with 100,000 more because of something the government has decided to do with our money. Sounds a lot like a pyramid scheme.

If you really want to complain about not getting enough, I think you ought to look at that instead of squabbling about getting 300,000 from a used product which isn't really worth the inflated 1,000,000 won.

used ones are $799.. that's 977,000 won for a used one
