Stolen???
Maybe he sells them out of a van to keep overhead costs down.

Unless you have plenty of time to spare and nothing better to do, forget about it, it's an obvious scam.
Seller would start with some sad story, ask you to send the money via WU or some other nonrefundable channel, camera would be unavailalbe for inspection since it's "in canon repair center for verification", etc, etc.

Just use your common sense. If it sounds too good to be true, it's almost always is.

He didn't even bother to spell check, so ALL his ads end like this:
",ned to hear from you soon"

Stay away from this, it is a scam/fraud. He also has 5D cameras for $289.

I have reported the activity.

Well thanks Ziggy!

Your complaint must have worked because the link is dead.

I could have used a Mark II Ds for $299.00, but you went ahead and ruined the opportunity!

On the other hand, make me an offer for my (well) used 1DmkII. It could be doing someone else a lot more good than it's doing me these days.

All the feedback is as of buyer.

I don't see much difference with the $299 guy...

Yeah, it's definitely suspect and as mentioned if it sounds too good to be true, well.. I would love to have this camera though, people shouldn't tease like that!

How about $350? Heck, that's fifty bucks more than they're selling for on the web! And those are 1Ds's!

I believe he sold that for $1600, what a steal for whoever got it. I saw the thread right after he posted it and wanted to jump on it but my wife just wouldn't have it. I tried to explain the beauty of the camera but I think all she heard was LALALALA.
