Cool craigslist-houston Mamiya 7 II - 04-29-2011, 01:10 PM

I just saw this. I don't know anything about it. The price would indicate one of two things: Good price. Or scam. Could be worth checking out. Be careful.

Mamiya 7 II Medium Format Film Camera+80mm lens

If it sounds too good to be true, it might be. KEH has a Bargain grade 7II & 80mm lens listed for $1,964.

Good luck!

OK. My scamdar is running wild. The same seller is listing a Leica M6 for $700. Something sounds fishy.

Hmmm, does seem too low. Maybe they really don't know what they have.

If you want either camera, I would check into it. Providing you observe all the usual precautions.

If these are legit, a person could double their money in a heartbeat.

I saw that. Figured it might have been an ebay listing cut & paste.
Lots of alarms in this thing.

Very small chance they just grabbed the description from an eBay auction since they don't know what they have....but I doubt it lol
