Here are a couple of pics of the example I'm looking at: http://surl.se/esah (external link)

As you can see it does have some minor scratches, but I guess that is no big deal? Shutter has been used about 65.000 times.

Price? 930 GBP/1900 USD.
Please notice that the prices in Denmark are very high compared to the american, but they should be comparable to european/british prices.

Should I go for it?

Seems like a low price and the marks are not that bad ,the one i have FS is a few pounds more than that one.
looks like a bargain to me.

Come on, those are not scratches. They are battle scars:p
Well, the shutter life for 1D Mark II N is 200,000, so 65,000 is not too bad.
As long as everything works fine, I think that would still be a good buy.


The best zoom lens is two steps forward, and the best wide angle lens is two steps backward.
