The one on this forum is great! But I'm looking for an 85mm f1.8 and I havn't seen one for sale here for a long time. Does anyone know of any other reliable used lense sources?

Thanks you guys! fredmiranda is perfectly what I was looking for. ebay scares me (marginally). I want something from a photographer that has taken care of the lens. you just never know with ebay. Does anyone know anywhere else similar to fm or potn?

I almost scored an EF-S 10-22mm on FM. I prefer this forum though, cause it's dedicated to Canon stuff. There's a buy/sell on dgrin.com and they have a Canon section, but it gets maybe 5-6 posts per day.

FM. You will need to be fast because item exchange hand really fast there. Also, try not to buy lens from Pro because they REALLY use the lens to the max.

I've been trying out CraigsList recently and have been very disappointed in the percentage of responses that are attempted scams. Does anyone else have better experience using CraigsList for expensive camera gear?

I would not use Craigslist on a bet. No warranty. No idea who you are dealing with. New eBay/Paypal policy - all transactions are guaranteed.

Thanks for the Craigslist reply.
I have used eBay with satisfaction to buy and sell.
What I've really discovered is the power of "Selling Used" on Amazon.com.
It is fast and easy. No need for photos or long descriptions... just underprice everyone else on a popular item and it sells the same day. Of course there is the 8-25% commission and fees, but their marketing and reach are unique.
