The guy who was selling here on DC Craigslist a month or two ago (5D Mark II + a couple of L lenses for $1200 or so) had gone to meet his parents in Detroit when I contacted him. may be he's the one! Now he'll tell you he's back to DC and therefore, he'd like to exchange via DHL!!!

was it the same guy who try to sell me a pristine 400 DO for $900 but said he had to move in an emergency to his parents out of state (however the date of the craigslist post was four days after he said he moved)....

Obviously this email looks like a fake CL post. I've bought and sold a couple of hundred items on craigslist and can usually spot a fake right away. The best way to avoid these are CALL the person and MEET in a very very public place. When dealing with expensive items take a buddy.

Probably just the box

Good he is caught.
Funny, the guy kinda looks like a younger Hugh Laurie

Same guy or operation is posting a 5DM2 with lenses for $700 in the NYC area. I emailed him and got this Daniel Sanchez character.

Another Daniel Sanchez scam...
A warning from Chronopost

There was a Nikon D70 in my local craigslist today for $450. Supposedly came with a 50 1.4G, and the 70-300 VR lens. Says to look up the lenses on wal-marts site to see how good of a steal this deal is. Sweet deal but as always too good to be true. Was planning on buying it and reselling to make some cash for a new lens. Called the guy set up the meet. He shows up with a D70, the 18-70 kit lens that sticks at 50mm, and the 70-300G lens. What a waste of my time. "Oh, I must have wrote it down wrong in the ad," he says. Yeah you did, he was hoping to pull a fast one on somebody. I'm not the one.

Why does all this stuff happen in Idaho?

Actually, this is a daily sport in most major cities (I travel the east coast, and spend part of my down time trolling the local CL for deals). Not surprisingly, I got the exact same response from our friend above with the 1DsM3 (I guess it's easy to copy and paste).

There are good deals out there - you just have to weed thru the nonsense.

Good hunting!
