Saw a 5D II on Craigs List, local to me. I assume this thing is stolen (or broken?)

I have no idea! But if there's one more. let me know. I'm willing to take the risk for a deal like that!

Did they include a phone number? Cause otherwise, 99.99% chance it's a scam.

If you can talk to a real person and arrange a meet, it never hurts to try. I have definitely gotten deals that good on craigslist before. Try a 50D + grip + 85mm 1.8 for $750. On April Fool's, no less :D

Scam.. Call them, they will come up with some type of money exchange deal that sounds too good to be true.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.

The Craigslist post is now flagged for removal, big shock. The only reason I noticed it is I'm looking for some good lens deals (whatever pops up that might be a good deal) so I have Craigslist Genie running. It emailed me the ad in question. Someone must have reported it.
