I have been watching eBay looking for a 1dx. Does anyone have experience with Robert's camera in Indianapolis, In? Thanks

I've purchased a few low-cost items from their eBay listings with no complaints.
They ship promptly with tracking, and have solid feedback.

I purchased a PW FlexTT6 from them in mid-January and it arrived quickly and was extremely well packed.

Roberts Camera? highly recommended. right there with the best sellers period. online, they appear as "Usedphotopro.com" - same company, products and service. all good, imho, and I am not affiliated.

You could always phone them, methinks.

When I bought my 5D2 I had to turn to eBay as the 5D3 had shipped and the Mk. II was phased out. I found a listing from a brick and mortar in Ontario and telephoned them. We ended up doing the transaction over the phone.

My sister, the professional baker and cake decorator once told me that my camera takes great pics. My reply was that I thought her oven baked great cakes.:lol:

on topic, but off topic too.. Ive bought from MPB and KEH. I like KEH a little more, its hard to articulate.. However Ive seen a few sale by Roberts too and was interested in them.. Glad I found this thread, Ill give them a second glance!

Thanks all..
Andrew


Only shooting Z6II, moved up from the Z50; both are fantastic

I live an hour from Roberts and have bought quite a bit from them. Just this weekend I bought a 5D Mk iv, 24-105 II and grip. They have good inventory of new and used gear. Many pros in the area use them because they are honest and knowledgeable. All the staff I've dealt shoot or have shot professionally. The used gear grading seems to be spot on in my opinion. I would not hesitate to buy from them.
