I'm almost tempted to call!

This.

 

[christian.rudman]

looks like a high chance of baloney. or beatdown.

hmmm... even as a Canon user all my days that seems like a touch of the old 'too good to be true' stuff to me! (now all i've got to do is find a 5d and 16-35 for that price n i'm in business...!)

 

[tirediron]

Oh, I forgot to add: :lmao:

 

[jake337]

Bring a few friends with, and a hand canon!

Yep something suspicious about it. As saw this exact post in Portland,Or. craigslist like a month? ago.
And first thing I thought is Stolen!

I saw a D700 used for $990 on Amazon, it was gone within an hour. Seller had 100% too..
But this.. with a 14-24? It almost has to be BS

This.

Call, agree to buy it and arrange to conduct the transaction at the Victoria Police Station. You will know if it is real or not then.

Hmmmm.

Another Hmmmm.


So I went, like, Hmmmmmmmmm.

Don't rush out and buy a camera at the local friendly and helpful dealer at exorbitant dealer prices. The above incredible deal is coming to a city near you anytime now.

 

[penfolderoldo]

Hmmmm.

Another Hmmmm.


So I went, like, Hmmmmmmmmm.

Yep, same old story over the pond here too - there was a guy flogging a 1D mark III mint on gumtree here for £350. Same deal, he'll pay postage, western union is best, blah blah... out of curiosity I checked out his address which turned out to be a chinese takeaway in London!

Okay, I'm weak, I know... and yes, my mother did teach me that it's not polite to get into battles of wits with unarmed opponents, but... I couldn't help it. I e-mailed this:

"Hi, is this still available? If so can you pls tell me if both items come with all accessories (straps, cases, cords, packaging, etc) or what is missing? As well, what are the serial #s for the body and lens?"

Which is the standard question I send anyone when buying photo gear on Craig's List, or similar 'sites.

This is the response (so far):

"I'm in Toronto, ON now (relocated for work) but overnight shipping is
included in the price, UPS or FedEx, and insurance/tracking is also
included.

If you use eBay I'd like to do it that way, so we're both protected
and can exchange feedback later. You will be covered by $2000 buyer
protection and get 90 days money back guarantee.

I just need your name and eBay ID, once I set it up with eBay they'll
confirm it with you and then we're good to go, even if you don't use
eBay now I can set it up.

It will be set up for WU payment which is instant so I can ship same
day. My sister works for them and gets the fee back so I will cover
the fee."

Come on... really? Don't these clowns at least put a little effort into their scams any more, or are there really that many stupid people in the world?

 

[tirediron]

My latest round:

"Oh... I don't use ebay. I don't know about western union, but I can figure that out I guess. This seems like a really good deal, I'm surprised someone hasn't already snapped it up. Can you tell me why you're selling it so cheaply?

Oh, and could I get those serial #s please?"
Tks

 

[tirediron]

Hmmmm.

Another Hmmmm.


So I went, like, Hmmmmmmmmm.

What???? You mean I can get three more?
