My point was that he changed it from “christhoper” to “Christhopher” later in the thread after I pointed it out (and still got it wrong)... if I sound kind of aggressive on this, it’s because it’s such an obvious scam, and I dislike thieves intensely (which is what scammers are), and I further dislike the fact that he’d put this on a photo forum and expect no one would notice the warning signs - just plain insulting. Now if by some looong stretch, it turns out to be legit and someone gets one hell of a deal, I’ll post a public apology to the OP.
Btw, glad you’re still shooting Tri-X - I have a roll loaded in my EOS-1N right now 😎.
Cheers

It's better to be safe than sorry and I thank you for giving everybody the heads-up about the potential for fraud.
Cheers on the EOS-1N.

Or a new $3199 camera and lens for $1399? If anyone believes this, PM me - I have a bridge in Brooklyn at a great price
What he is listing appears to be a Canon EOS rp which is substantially less expensive than the full Canon EOS r.
The ad is virtually a copy and paste from Amazon.
The giveaway was the free prime shipping.
Then a quick Google search for EOS r vs EOS rp

The posted pictures are of an R. Take a look at the posted picture of the back. The R has a rocker button at the top of the back next to the viewfinder, which the posted picture shows, while the RP doesn't.

Good job TX but time to chill ? Well done !
Stick a fork in it. Yes, you [we] hate thieves
but such crimes require both a supply AND
demand. "Demand" is the sucker. You have
done a thorough job, and if anyone chooses
to disbelieve you now, they're a scammer's
"rightful prey" [wish I had a better term].
And TX, I'm not "ordering" you to chill. Just
saying it
looks like "break time" on the job !
NOT pretending I'm your boss :-)

Looks like your ready for some fun shooting. Post some results.
He's selling this camera and lens, not bragging about them. No need to say looks like he's ready unless you mean ready to sell. HuH!!!
In fact, this looks for like a scam than anything else. (as others have pointed out)

Maybe the camera is a gray, gray, gray market model.
