Craigslist Gear ???

after reading about the dangers inherent in doing Craigslist deals ... I started wondering if I'm the only one who uses CL as a main source for gear. My CL purchases:

70-200 f4 L IS
300mm f4 L IS
STE-2 transmitter
32 inch reflector
Pelican 1500 case

offered to buy but just missed:

24mm TS/E L
70-200 f 2.8 II L IS

what CL gems are in your bag ?

85 f/1.8
24 f/2.8

Both for $400

i also bought my 85mm f/1.8 off craigslist.

nice

70-200 2.8L
17-40 4.0L

A 22" beauty dish from Paul buff for 50. But sold a lot in there

I check out CL every day to see if there are any deals I just can't pass up. Usually they are not but I keep hoping.

Last year I bought 5dmk 2 and 70-200 2.8 is as a kit. They asked 3900 let it go for 3600.

I don't mine CL I can really try out what I'm buying. Some people claim it's unsafe but if you pay attention and do it right your fine.

I know there is a lot of scams on CL at times, but for the most part I've haven't had any problems. I'm a big guy as well so maybe that may play into it

I've bought 2 things from CL. Sigma 28-70 and a Tokina 12-24. Don't have them anymore but local deals are always nice, depending on who the other person is.

I got my ef 35 f2 and my Tokina 100mm f 2.8 macro
