A strange request....

I have a confession.... I'm a box fiend, i love the packaging items come in, so when i bought my 2nd hand 1D mk III i was really saddened that it just came in a carrier bag!

So my question is this:
Does ANYONE on here have the original packaging that came with the camera? and would you part with it for a fee?

Keep an eye in the market section, These do come up in the for sale threads. You could post a want to buy, but beware of scammers, they love answering those ads.

In fact, I sold the complete set with charger and all accessories about a year ago

ebay

or post WTBs here and on craigslist

I did message a bunch of people on ebay that were selling the cam too, One wanted $800 for the box and he would throw the camera in for free, The other wanted $200 just for the box and user manual.

I have a deal for you.

Let's go 50 50 on a 7D mkII and you can keep the box.

HAHA! erm... .how about..... no! although it is tempting....

Sorry. I am the same way as you. I have the box from every body, lens, and flash I have bought. I've even kept the box my Wacom tablet came in.

Reminds me of the song "Little Boxes" (theme of the show ""Weeds")

I have my intuos box
It's bad as i have boxes full of boxes but when i traded in my 700D i got more becuase i had it all packed back into the original packaging, Plastic bags and all

The only thing missing is this blinking 1D Mk III box! GRRR>>>>

???? So what are you going to do with the box? I could see if you need a box to sell it, but I'm assuming you will just store away the box and it serves no purpose.

I think his first post said it all, " I have a confession.... I'm a box fiend"

Would it make it worse if I told you the camera also came with a device that lets it run from the mains, and a chrome bolt that looks like it belongs in the neck of Dr. Frankenstein's monster?

yes..... yes it would..... and yes it's just to store as i feel as much a part of the buyer experience is having the box to go with the product.

Well, there are worse vices to have. Just keep checking ebay. sometimes someone sells the camera before they find the box, then they move and find the box. One will show up - google the camera and 'box only' and I bet you can get one for under $50 - it may take a couple months, but have faith.

Fingers crossed!!
