Well, theres someone selling the batteries for an ok price in my city on craigslist. They are brand new in unopened packages. With that said, how can I verify their authenticity? 5d3, 50mm 1.4, 70-200mm F4 L, 17-40mm F4 L

The markup is relative low so there's no real incentive to price it lower. I agree with the previous poster. Get real batts, or good third party batts. Skip the cheaper/questionable real batts.
