It’s probably just the box!

Must be an honest deal. After all, it's on the internet! I wonder if they have more then one for sale.
BTW, the 5DIV uses the Canon LP-E6N battery. The BG-E20 is a battery grip.


I think I once heard an appropriate aphorism: "Anything too good to be true probably is."
Buyer beware.

Too bad I am not a Canon user, otherwise I would be jumping on this really great offer.


I'm tempted. LOL

All it shows is a box. I expect that is all you would receive.

Are you sure it does not come with a Cadillac also?

Wow is right! And to think that I went thru a reputable, well known dealer to get mine? Could have saved a bundle!!!

I've had the tax scam phone calls. Pre-recorded message. Male voice sounding 'Very British' and female voice sounding 'Very American'. Numbers 'Not recognised'. There's a surprise.


Mine was an overseas voice. I wouldn't say from where and also left a message and when I did 147 it came up as a London Number and I rang it but I told him that it was a scam as I had paid my tax and will be checking with my tax office. Anyhow, both BT and the Tax Office confirmed that it was a scam and when I queried how could it be a London number and BT said that they have sophisticated equipment. I asked what could I do and they suggested a BT Call Barring Phone as they don't like using the # and announcing their name to get through. The phone really works. I do get calls but I don't hear a ring but I get a symbol on the phone showing that there was a call and if the number wasn't withheld the number is visible. They are pests.

Everyone knows that it's a scam so there is nothing new here. I once wanted to find out what kind of scam it was and it was fun.

And if you buy this camera from them they will also sell you the Golden Gate Bridge for a discounted price.


They can't I already own it. Got it from a guy on 5th Avenue. He put it up as collateral in a 3 Card Monty game. But first, he took $40.00 from me before I figured out how he won the first two hands.

BE VERY CAREFUL! "If it sounds too good to be true...…!" If you proceed protect yourself with how you pay for it. And if you meet them to purchase it, be sure to do it with a companion and in broad daylight.

Who actually buys stuff on Craigslist WITHOUT expecting to get a complete wallet reaming?

It's the swap meet of the great unwashed...
