I think most peoples issues is the sorta sob story and verbage used by the OP. NO problems about profits.
But when you say things like "Donate" a lens to me, it makes it sounds like your trying to make due.
I think another approach like.
"Hey guys New 5d II, $3400 shipped" would work better.
Anybody else have suggestions on how I should word my sell post? Geeeez. My intentions are simple for most to understand, sell/trade.

One body sold 2 days ago on eBay for $5000, I dont think im asking for too much when im covering Paypal and shipping. And especially for someone wanting a MKII that has a fisheye collecting dust they never use they would want to donate to someone that will use it ( for their luck and troubles)
That guy is going to be sick to his stomach in a few weeks when there are 5d2's on every shelf. 5grand? Probably one of those folks that has a constant maxed out credit card.
haha, try this on craigslist and you'd get banned. I bought a Wii on there for like $300, used it for two weeks, decided to sell it, listed it back on craigslist for $300 and had my posts repeatedly taken down because the admins thought that was too much for a used Wii, yet you can't find any in stores with a 150 mile radius or anywhere online (at the time). They just didn't want people charging too much for them on their site, I was like WHAAAAAAAAAT? Who are they to decide what I CHARGE FOR SOMETHING I OWN?!!
Jeez, remember when the Dodge Viper first came out? Sticker was something like $70,000 and the dealers! were marking 'em up to around $125,000. Some dealers even had the balls to put on the sticker "additional dealer profit" right on the sticker. At least I'm not aware of any of the (reputable) dealers marking up the Mk II, although given the huge demand for this camera they probably could mark them up and still have lines out the door.
Hammaggot, good luck in your sale. I'm sure someone will buy it.
Yeah, good for the OP! $3400 too high? Not for everyone! Some people can make that back in or two sessions. Others just aren't doing as badly (financially). He'll get whatever the market can bear.

I sold my 85L II lens to hammaggot, we had a great communication and he is a very nice person. Feel free to deal with him if you want the camera.
+1, not an 85L II, but I had a great interaction with him. Awesome guy. =] Best of luck!! Jealous oh whoever picks it up. The pics and vid coming out on the forum the past few days have me drooling.
Bump. Google picked this up right away and has had it at #1 for "5d MarkII NIB". If you want, try rewording the title. For Sale, put in the price? Good luck!

Or he lives in some other country where the local price is even higher, and he's happy that he got a great deal...
I am truly astonished that this has not sold yet. For months now I've been seeing countless posts by folks whose photography careers, relationships , selfesteem, potency and general health have been jeopardized by not having the 5D MkII.
Therefore one would be justified in assuming, and as those people have portrayed themselves, that no price would be too high for a 5D II piece of magnapixel heaven.
? Who are they to decide what I CHARGE FOR SOMETHING I OWN
