They are selling off several EOS 1D Mk II and EOS 1Ds bodies. Look good prices, average £1600-1800 for EOS 1D Mk II. All have full 12 month Canon guarantee.

Of late their auctions seem to reach pretty high prices though.

Jan 24, 2006 12:30 | #6 Wow... won the bid on Sunday for EOS 1D Mk II body, delivered today, looks absolutely stunning. Can't wait to try it out. £1550 seems a real bargain with 12mth Canon warranty.

When the box arrived it was certainly not in 'new' condition however when I took a look at what was inside, everything was brand spanking mint. I've used the camera quite a lot over the last few months and its been great. Having said that I purchased it for 200 quid and you talking about spending nearly 1.8k so there is a big difference. They are not very good at responding to emails but overall I would give them the thumbs up. Various gear
