Sad because his/her sister ripped him/her off, or sad because he/she is too ignorant to know the truth?

It also makes me sad to see people pay more than $100 for ANY Nikon.

OMG.... that poor person... his sister needs to be slapped... but honestly... if the buyer is smart enough to post on Craigslist... then they are smart enough to check out google to get a price....

I seriously doubt that the person bought that camera for $1200. My guess would be they're hoping to lure some unsuspecting sucker into thinking they're getting a 'good deal' at $950.

I was thinking that too. A new form of Nigerian scam, perhaps?

Wow, a display of craigslist scamming prowess, then some Nikon bashing. All in the same thread!

With entertainment like this, who needs television?


"You can have my Nikon when you pry my cold, dead hands..." - you know the rest.

This isn't a GAME !! This is LIFE. Get used to it Soldiers. We don't play games and we don't take prisoners. The enemy is everywhere.

Ugh, sorry, PTSD again !

Was that Reddenbacher popcorn ?
