Just a heads up,
There is someone using Kijiji advertising Canon 5Dii with 6800 clicks.
Claims secure truncation through Google Checkout.
At first his price was $1050. I sent an email and that is when he told me was actually living in Austria, but bought the camera in Toronto, ON. Canada, and was trying to sell it back to that market for the warranty. I knew something was not right when he said he would handle the shipping. I live in Northern ON.
The ad disappeared the next day, but a new ad was up today, same camera, but now $1250. He gave himself away by not changing his title in the ad, also his broken english was obvious in both ads.
Be careful if you see this kind of ad. You will lose your money and never see any product.
