Ive found one for sell and the price seems to good to be true but Im going to try to see it in person. Do you think its a scam or would you jump at the opportunity?


60D, Canon 18-135 IS, Sigma 10-20 hsm, 24-70 2.8 hsm, 70-200 2.8 hsm, 430EX II, and all the other stuff that goes along with it.

Either it's a scam, or the unit has a million actuations on it and has been to hell and back.

I would run away as fast as I could from this "deal". The camera is either stolen or salt water has somehow managed to get into it (i.e. it will soon be broken).

Most likely a scam. You won't see it in person, I can almost guarantee that. It's a familiar scam on Craig's List and some other forum.

Where are you? I just flagged one in the SB County area here in CA. Most likely a scam. The seller will "suddenly" be out of the country, most like Canada or England, and will offer the sale through a "broker". :evil: Only do Craigs List deals face to face and preferably in a public place. ;)
