What are some things I should know about buying a Minolta 35mm film camera off of ebay?

I want to buy one sometime soon, and I've been looking into them for a few months now. I know you'd most likely have to purchase film online and what not. But what films do minoltas use exactly? Just any? Like Kodak?|||Minolta's are great cameras and they have excellent lenses. Good Choice. Now the great majority of them use plain old 35 mm film, so just choose your favorite brand ( I recommend Kodak or Fuji).





As far as buying on Ebay,





People give Ebay a bad rap. Yes there are scammers but if you do your due diligence ( IE check out the seller's user ratings, how long he has been on Ebay, etc) you can avoid problems.You shouldn't have to spend more than $50 for a nice Minolta. Just do your research and you will be okay.|||The first thing is many of us here on the forum would recommend you run from ebay. We've heard so many horror stories about people taken, receiving faulty (at times not even working) cameras. It's sad that so many who want only to make a quick buck have dumped their stuff on ebay.





Buy from a reputable store or someone you know but not ebay.
