Looks like a pretty good deal. I'm thinking about it...

That might not be an authorized dealer. Beware! The price is too low, compared to legitimate sellers.

Maybe I overlooked something on that auction, but nowhere did I see mention of a USA Warranty. What I did see way down near the bottom of the description was a "we provide a one year warranty on parts and labor", or something close to that description. The "WE" may not be in business in a year; who knows? Personally, I wouldn't touch that auction with a long pole. However, there are buyers who knowingly buy grey market products, probably gambling they will not need to use a warranty. I have no idea if grey market products experience higher, lower, or the same percentage of defects. Perhaps another member here can chime in on that.

It would be one thing if you actually got the products, but that seems like a remote possibility.

An awful lot of money to spend on grey market import good with nothing but a "store" warranty. I hope you trust them implicitly!

Well, they do offer free delivery! They have the standard, "New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable). Packaging should be the same as what is found in a retail store, unless the item is handmade or was packaged by the manufacturer in non-retail packaging, such as an unprinted box or plastic bag." But that doesn't guarantee that it will really arrive in Canon packaging.

If money were not a concern, I'd order it just too see if it's legitimate. This sounds like another good research project for you, MT. :D

I don't like it when they don't say where they are located. Only 5,382 sales with 44 negative. Their rating is 99.2% - not too bad, but they could change names every six months after their rating drops to a certain level. Dealers often have sales over 100,000, so 5,000 is pretty low.

Better safe than sorry.

There's a good reason this is $600 less than what B&H sells it for. How badly do you want to find out exactly what that reason is??

Probably the old lens .... not the ISii
Else too good to be true ....

I have see this seller out there for quite sometime. The 5382 number you see there is the number of reviews that people have left for the seller, not everyone leaves a review. I am pretty certain what they sell is a grey market item and WILL NOT have the Canon warranty. What you get is what they represent and that is all. They are backed by the ebay assurance of a fair sale. So in essence, if one is willing to take a risk on a private store warranty as opposed to the Canon backing this is a good price. But, is it really worth a few hundred $$ for this risk on such expensive package? That is the question only the OP can answer .... I know of many people who have dealt with similar deals and have been happy but .... there's always the what if?

if you Google their name you will find they have a prominent website, Their address is listed in the customer service section of their site.
Sixth Avenue Express Headquarters
15 Schoolhouse Rd.
Somerset, NJ 08812
Ebay reports that they have been a member since 2002.
You might have issues with warranty etc but for sure you will loose $600 at the full retail price sellers establishments. You roll the dice and take your chances, If I was making a ton of money with photography I would go first class but for now I ride the banana boat. Good luck.

How can you tell it's grey market?

gemlenz Loc: Gilbert Arizona

This might be a better Ebay deal from an authorized USA dealer. They are listed on the authorized dealer list.

Seller has too many bad reviews. Its one of those NYC sellers, hard to trust them

gemlenz Loc: Gilbert Arizona

Where did you see bad reviews? I looked up BBB on them and nothing really stood out. I mean B&H is in NYC.
