Wow, that really is low. I guess you were right in your initial assessment of him as a scammer, and I apologize for criticizing you for it. And I'm guessing he didn't include anything to cover your out-of-pocket costs to ship the lenses to him. 7D, BG-E7, BGE2x2 (both FS), 17-55 f/2.8 IS, 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS (FS), 50 f/1.8, 85 f/1.8, 70-200 f/2.8L IS Mk I, 70-300 f/4-5.6L, 550EX, Kenko Pro300 1.4xTC

May 06, 2009 13:19 | #54 Well I'd love to out him, but a mod contacted me a couple days ago about 'lynching' other people on the forums. So I'll wait to hear what he says.

It may well have turned into just that had the other side of this transaction been named publically and then turned out to be ok. Bad reputations tends to stick regardless of the actual events.
