Don't know, if you properly post this in the marketwatch area, it would get POTN's collective eye looking over it in more detail. ;)

Its a hacked account for sure. The seller has 6 of each item for sale including the Canon 1Ds Mark III, Nikon D3 and D3x. They also sell Leica M8 and M9.

I was just wondering...why do scammers list items at such a reduced cost? If I were the scammer I would be setting prices very similar to the actual value of the item. This means I get more money and the listing will look less like a scam and more like an actual sale which means more people will take it seriously.

Because there are people who don't even think for a minute and jump on this kind of sale. They do it really fast so that no one can beat them.

I wondered how the listing could be from both the US and Australia at the same time. I guess it make sense now.
