Hi there :D

I just put my "Bigma" (Sigma 50-500 f/4-6.3 for Canon EOS EF) up for auction at eBay here:


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7563487220


Only two reasons I'm selling it: A) I need the money due to financial issues, and B) As it turns out I find myself taking far more portrait pictures than anything else.

It's an excellent lens in excellent condition. Thanks for looking! :):

    Hi Mathew,
    It's too bad you followed all the other guidelines for posting on flea market so well (good title, photos, intro)... because I sure would like to whip you for not offering other dgrinners a first crack at a straight-up sale!!!

    I would have liked a crack at it here too. And I cannot bid on ebay as it is only for sale to US peoples.

    Well, congrats! Now, would you remind Matthew to post feedback here as well as ebay?

    Wow! I didn't think it would sell so quickly. I put it up less than 12 hours ago. :) Congratulations Mike! :)

    Payment received and private email sent. I'll leave feedback (in both places) after you receive the lens.

    Thanks and enjoy! :D

    Note to DoctorIt: Thanks, and well... I just felt a little uneasy with such an expensive item, sorry. eBay/PayPal at least has some protection from fraud (for both people involved in the sale). Maybe next time I'll try a straight seller-to-buyer thing here. :)

    Hence the feedback thread. You'll find most of the buyers and sellers here are regular repeat customers and contributors to the site. I think 99% of us here would agree its safer selling here even without ebay protection - paypal of course still holds here, many of us use it.

    Kick back, settle in, and again, welcome. nod.gif

    Yep Mike, you jumped in with both feet......Laughing.gif

    I think you are going to like this lens. I know I sure enjoy mine iloveyou.gif The 10X range really comes in handy and while the results are a bit softer above 400mm, they still sharpen up well. Anything under 400mm comes out very sharp thumb.gif
