yes I got an email about that from them. I'm surprised at the price of
$594 used just for the body. New aren't that much more but rigjt now they are in short or very limited suppy. I have the lens that come with it already so dont need duplicates. thanks for the heafs up.

I want to buy another camera body and love my canon 77d. When I retired 2 yrs ago looked at other canons but this met my needs and price point. I cant find one refurbished and did a search for used. B and H, KEH, MPB, and Adorama. no stock left of that camera. I would buy a body only.
Abes of Maine comes up over and over but from reading here terrible reputation. Canon USA will repair grey market cameras. Does anyone know what tricks they pull. Over the years I've dealt with some shady NYC camera stories over my life until
B and H came along.
Abes price on new is hundreds dollars cheaper. I can resist hard sells but I've read somany bad stories and BBB gives them an F.
I'm happy with a used body but the price btw used body and new grey market not much.
Any other dealers to look into as the 77d just not available. Maybe canon coming out with a new model or they relying on the T8i replacing it. Thanks.

Try Roberts Camera, I have had very good service on used cameras from them.
Thanks, I've never bought used and can't believe how expensive they are. I realize the have to clean and examine the piece but for the little difference I'm going to think about this some more. CHGcanon first post making a lot of sense at this point but then again his post always do.
Over the years people have asked about Abe’s of Maine. No one has recommended them, end of story. To save money buy a used camera from: KEH, MPB, B+H and other reputable stores.
I had a new lens not function function properly and it was replaced at 4 months old. I would not buy gray market.
I'm not going grey for sure. Noone has worse reputation then ABES

Well, 42nd St. Photo has THE SAME bad reputation as Abe's... Both are poisonous vipers (uh, that's vendors).
I lived in and worked in NYC for 20+ years and dealt with them all as a uninformed young adult. Wow you knew they going to get you you just didn't know when and how. Add 47th street camera to that list.
The deal was too good to pass up. found a private seller of a T7i brand new condition. I already have a 77d and was looking for a body only. He said i could have the card too and said he didn't need it nor the photos. Had 1200 pics on it. im thinking thats shuttet count seeing the cameras condition.
Had the kit lens 18-55 f 4-5.6 which I think is the newer one. From my77d I have the 18-135 and 55-250. I have the tamron 150-600 g2 also so I was looking for just a body. He was looking for $500 but accepted $400. Had 2 off brand batteries and a nice case. Im thrilled with the deal.
