I'm not in the market for new equipment right now, just browsing... but this strikes me as pretty cheap??

Yes, the camera is a refurb and I assume the lens might be too... but a 5D and a 24-105 f/4L for a starting bid of $1,500?

that deal is too good to be true...........they only accept wire transfer, and since they are out of the Country, then will probably just take your money and run......and you won't be able to do anything about it

Extremely cheep. But it's a refurb from a fairly new seller located in Germany only excepting wire transfers and shipping un-insured. I would stay away from this, but thats me.

All true... I didn't look that closely since I wasn't gonna bid either way. It just kinda jumped out at me.

If you look the 12 answers, only one is for a camera, a Canon 5D + 24-105 sold out by 3.199€ ($4.150). Curious ?? The rest are telephones and MP3. Always remains actually just 2 bodies for Canon 5D or Canon 5D + 24-105 !!.

Wire transfer only and after received the money: NO WAY !!!!


Cheers
Juan
