Looks likely.

Doesn't matter -- I think most people in business just don't care about reality any longer.

Here are 2 for you... I have been watching 50Ds that is how I have come across the links.

http://cgi.ebay.com …iewitem=&saleno​tsupported (external link)

Then this person's other listings...

http://shop.ebay.com …QQ_armrsZ1QQ_fr​omZQQ_mdoZ (external link)


And this "person" in the below link sold a 50D for $1025 and right after the close, the account/membership was removed/closed. The auction has been removed so I can't link you to it, but all they had was a stock photo with stock write up, all they added was "Brand new Canon 50D"

http://myworld.ebay.co​m/wholesalesplace/ (external link)

Funny (not really), both auctions said the same one line statement for the 50D "Brand new Canon 50D", makes one wonder if they are the same person.

Both have/had 0 feed back


Canon 50D, Canon 28-135

And the seller plagiarized The Digital Picture's review to boot!

Both of the lenses that I originally posted about are still listed, Crazy thing is that the listing insists on Paypal so anybody that did hit the button would be covered Paypal's security.

How bizarre!
