I am curious, why is the screw all stripped up?

I am not sure myself. I didn't notice it until I was taking photos of it for sale. The only time I parted with the camera was when I sent it to CPS for sensor cleanings. I took a photo of it so there would be no surprise when someone buys it. Maybe there is a way for a potential buyer to call CPS him/herself and verify that there was never anything wrong with the camera? I don't know how else to make it easier for someone to be comfortable purchasing it.

Is it the lack of rating that is keeping people away from buying from me? Just curious.

At this point with all the info, I don't think that the main reason. From what I've seen, it's tough to sell this camera at $2,500, unless it's in mint condition. There was a discussion once before why it's getting difficult to sell a 1Ds3 and the main reason is the low price of 5D3.

Even if the price is right, many times I find that you have to patiently wait until the right buyer comes along.

Good luck with the sale. Free bump for you.

Send the camera to Canon for a Clean & Check and request the shutter count be printed on the invoice.

I had a clean and check done already but I didn't think of asking them to do shutter count because I didn't know I couldn't do it myself.
The estimated shutter count is about 25000.

I asked for a shutter count on my last clean and they did not include it. I called and they gave it to me over the phone. You might still be able to get the info is you have the repair order.
