DeltaDuc · **Canon BG-E6 Battery Grip for 5D -** 06-29-2011, 01:04 AM

I have a brand new Canon BG-E6 for the 5D MKII

Asking for $180.

I'm in Dallas, TX. But I go to Houston pretty often so I can meet you in person.

Willing to ship if you pay shipping. Thanks

Just FYI for those that are looking at this and low-balling due to prices on ebay.

Please note the following example:

New Canon BG-E6 BG E6 BGE6 Battery Grip for dragasanu | eBay

If you note the bottom left of the box, there's only one language as opposed to 9 languages. The bottom of the box should also have the name of the grip BG-E6 printed. If you search for posts on other forum, you'll see more pictures of someone proving this.

I purchased this from Frys, so there's no problem of it being fake. Can provide pic of the box if anyone wants to see it.

I can confirm what Duc says. Most of the "Canon" e-bay grips you find, especailly from China, are fakes. There good fakes but no where near the quality of the Canon.

The description of the box labeling is a good indicator along with the quality of the grip material. BTW this is a very good deal on a new conditioned BG-E6. I would buy it myself if I didn't already have one.

Thanks Jim!

I've done my research and done plenty of it. Other forums are selling this for $190 shipped and USED for over a year, and this is a grip, so it's going to have all kinda "stuff" that touches our hands. lol...

Cheers
