Howdy,
I don't know how many people saw the ad for a 3.3 Megapixel CCD for $450(#332235), but it definately piqued my curiosity. The builder, Tom Gyun, lives in China and seems to be building very inexpensive cameras. It doesn't appear he has sold anything on Astromart as of yet.
I know, this ad has "WARNING" all over it. The fellow is in a distant foreign country, the ad is nearly too good to be true, etc. However, taking a look at the seller's web site gave me the impression that he is sincere in his efforts.

I have communicated with him a bit, and it seems he will be willing to build some cameras to spec, if asked. Buying a camera through this vendor is uncharted territory, and risky, but for the price involved, I think it might be worth the risk.
I'd appreciate some input from the group on this.
