p.1 #1 · A Good Deal ? (1D3 +++)


I have a chance to purchase (locally) and think it is a pretty good deal. Is there anything I should check before purchase?

Like blue dot vs. serial number

stolen serial number list

how to check if has focus issue, etc.

Here is the $4000 package:

* Canon 1D Mark3
* Canon Hand Strap HR-E1
* SanDisk Extreme4 8.0GB (CF memory card)

* Canon EF24-70mm F2.8L
* B+W 77mm UV-Haze Filter

* Canon Speedlite 580EX2
* Canon Angle Finder C
* Canon Remote Switch RS-80N3

Thanks!

I'd say it's fairly priced- put it this way- the 24-70 and flash are $1200 together, while the other extras are say, $50 or so, $2750 for the body. Questions is- do you need those other items?

The flash makes it happen. But it still ain't a "killer deal". Offer $3800.

Considering that I paid $4,000 just for my 1D3 only a year or so ago, it looks like a nice deal to me (especially if the body is low mileage and in good condition). I think that Orangefirefish is right on the money; if you need those other items it sounds like a winner, if not you can buy a used body on the B&S board for $2,700-$2,800 now.

I absolutely don't need them. I use (and love) my 1D2 and 5D. It would be with the intention of reselling for a bit of profit.

He says that they were purchased last october and are almost new (hardly used). he says they come with certificates (I assume he means warrantee cards)

That is about $5500 new. The only thing you need to verify the lens and body aren't problems.

Save yourself the trouble and the transaction fees then for selling- you can probably get one here on the B&S for the same price and condition!
