Normal retail price here in the UK somewhere over £1850. I got it for £1330. Woop!
That said, until it turns up on my doorstep I won't believe it! Apparently it has one dead pixel, but as I will probably hook it up to a colour critical monitor, I'm not too bothered.
I purchased a 300 2.8L(non IS), 16-35, 1DmkIIn and a Lowepro Supertrkker AW....
ALL THIS FOR $4000 AUD
and all in EXCELLENT condition.
The lady was getting out of photography and pursuing her scholastic studies.
I sold the 300mm for $3500 AUD and the 16-35 for $1100 AUD and the 1DmkIIn for $2700 AUD.
I kept the Supertrekker...lol
what a great deal indeed..
pk
brand new 1DsII, 100-400 lens and some other kit lens (forget which one), tripod and storm case all for $3,000. Sold the camera and two lenses for $3500 that night here on B&S.
Brand new 1D II and 200 1.8 combo for $4,000.00 back in 2004 from a photojournalist - he never used either piece of gear....kept the 1D II and sold the 200 1.8 for $3,200.00 - more than covered the cost of a new 1D II at the time!!
Just picked up a new 5dmk2 from an authorized canon dealer on eBay. With 8% cashback ($200 max) and a 10% off ($100 max) paypal coupon, my final cost including shipping to my front door was $2300.
I picked up a sigma 10-20mm today for $250. He had a sigma 30mm 1.4 that i was a bit late to replying. He wanted $400 for both!! Atleast i got a minty $500 lens for half that!
Another deal that i came across today, and am going to most likely pick up tomorrow, is:
350D+grip with 18-55mm, 3 batteries, Canon EF 75-300 f/4-5.6 III, Canon 70-200 f/4L, a flash (sunpak...?) and bag for...$700! everything is mint!
