> 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.
