For those of you who read my Adorama thread, after asking around and contacting CCRA and etc, we've come to the conclusion that even though you're not supposed to pay duty on camera supplies, some border guys don't care. Also, with the 22% exchange rate, it just isn't worth it.
We've decided to go the local route and have been exchanging emails over craigslist.
Seems like one will come to fruition. It's a 30D and 18-55, used, with apparently 3000 actuations. He's not SURE though, and this is Richmond; we're planning to bargain. Especially since the email grammar has been nothing short of atrocious, and my dad suspects that he is Asian. (Now this is not racist, I am half Asian. The typed sentence structure is typical of Asian roots. Don't flame me for the comment, please.)
So we're setting up a meeting. Oh, right. It's gonna be in a public place. My dad's coming (He's 200 pounds and 6'1''.) so there shouldn't be any funny business .
Tips? Questions I should ask? Things I should look for? Look out for?
