Total Mindblown!

Saw a Canon 5D going for a cool $900 on craigs this morning:

Looks like it already went, no surprise there. Thats the deal of the century. Wow, thats literally the first full frame digital camera (besides the old Kodak 14n) ive seen go for under a grand. Pair that with a canon 50mm and your in business.

Well, someone got a good deal anyway.

I saw someone that was 'selling' a 1 series m3 body for $700.

I would be carefull....I responded to a D90 with 18-105 VR post yesturday....for $600.00...and this is the email I recieved back....

Hello,
The camera is new and the final price is $600.
Now I'm in Romania with job
I will came back next year. The product is here with me, in Romania. I don't have who i ship it. My family is here with me.
So this is what i suggest, i think this is the best and safest way for the two of us.
I will ship it to you. I will support all the shipping taxes. Shipping will take usually: 3 days.
Obviously we need a safe way to complete this deal that will allow us to make sure we receive what we are after.
I have found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast!
The solution is provided by a international shipping company DHL.
It is explained step by step below:
- First I will need your shipping information (i.e. name and address).
1. With this info, I will go to a DHL Location send the item to your name and address provided.
2. DHL will inspect the package and all the legal papers.
- As soon as the item is in DHL custody, you will receive a notification from them.
1. After that, you will make the payment for the item.
2. Once the payment was sent, they will deliver the product to your door step, and you will verify that everything is as supposed.
- If by any reason, you will not be satisfied with the package, you will return the product to DHL with no expense!

DHL Express reduces risks associated with Internet transactions by acting as a licensed, trusted, neutral third party for on-line transactions.
The seller leaves the merchandise into DHL Express custody.
The merchandise will remain in DHL Express custody until the buyer provides the payment informations to the seller.
Once the funds are verified by the seller, the merchandise will be send to the buyer.
If the buyer will not be satisfied with the merchandise, DHL Express will send the merchandise back to the seller.
Also the payment will be sent back to the buyer.
The seller will receive the payment only if the buyer will contact us and tell us that will keep the product.
I will be waiting for your email.
Best Regards !

First off DHL has not run in the US since Nov of 2008 they stopped running on the 18th and second they don't deliver to the US since Dec 31st 2008....the last of the shops shut down the middle of Dec 2008....

It looks like the old Nigerian Scam just recreated...!!!!

I'm wondering why they would use a small-name courier, instead of the better-known UPS?

Ive seen a few shady deals on CL...



actually i've seen a lot of shady deals on CL. thats why i use a CL only email account because its guaranteed spam.

Even if it was legit, I wonder how much use/abuse the camera got. I haven't personally seen one for less than $1,250.

It's definitely not legit. They will ship either an empty box or a box of junk.
