Thanks for the heads up. I just figure that everything on Craig's List is a scam, but some folks do use it. I feel the same about Ebay. In the last 15 years, or so, I have purchased 3 things on Ebay. Each was either damaged, or not what it was advertised to be...a different make / model. I don't bother with Ebay any more than I do with Craig's List, now. Someone must, though, for them to still be in business....so I guess someone gets what they expect.
I have a lot of photo equipment and most of it obtained off craigslist. There are many people that impulse buy and are willing to take a large loss, or they can afford to update constantly.
Of course there are precautions one must take when meeting and dealing with strangers, so it's not for everyone, but I've had great success.
