Buying a Used Camera? Safe?

Better yet, meet in front of the local police station. Those places make criminals nervous.

if someone were that paranoid i wouldn't deal with him. on my ebay auctions if a person asks too many questions that i feel are fear or inexperienced -based i will block him from the auction.

if you're scared i don't have time to hold your hand and i'll move on to the next monkey .

i recently bought a 1d mark II from a local who posted an ad on POTN and it was his first or second post.

i asked him to call me and he did. the next morning he drove up to my house in a newish escalade after dropping a load of kids off at school.

he had all the accessories and boxes and i could tell by talking to him that he was honest and meticulous.

i paid him cash as we had agreed upon and we were both happy.
