"...I notice from preusing your many posts that you do a whole lot of wheeling and dealing. To that end I'm going to make the assumption that the gear you offer for sale are not items that you purchased new and have just decided to part with for whatever reason. If that is the case then I'm no longer interested..."

usnret a very thoughtful and quite likely valid inference... Thank you for sharing this...
Ed i.e. ELSELS is probably an "eBay Broker" a.k.a. a middle person between the original vendor and what he posts here on UHH... If you want to call him formally just ask for the Serial Number a posted item (which he unlikely will be willing to do since he's fronting for multiple sources...)

My patience wears thin with how Ed blatantly ignores the UHH Buy/Sell forum rules by continuously bumping his posts. Which in my humble estimation is rude, crude and socially unacceptable conduct for a "Professional" photographer.

That said, eBay Brokers have their merits in that they use their "market" knowledge and savvy which they have gleaned to "facilitate" searches by naive UHH users who don't have the time/interest in mastering the market place.

Note: I typically ignore inappropriate UHH members however Ed is simply a "wheeler/dealer" who has seemly no regard for this forum's rules and UHH etiquette... In short a mercenary... Why this Forum's Admin is missing in action is here is sad, very sad since this forum should be a resource for serious UHH members.

Again thank you for calling Ed on this usnret
Wishing you all the best on your photographic journey...
