I bought a 28-80L lens from Greg and it was just as he described - beautiful! I ended up selling it later as I also bought a 28-70L and a 24-70L and could only keep one . The transaction with Greg was superb - good communication, fast delivery and well packaged. Thanks!

pidge had a DRebel for sale and my co-worker was interested in it. Everything deliveried as described. And most importantly, he turned down a much higher offer just because we had a deal earlier. His words "a deal is a deal". What a guy! One of the top sellers in FM.
Bought a mint Canon 70-200 F4L from teriba (creator of the thread!)
Mike is a very honest guy. Everything came exactly as pictured and promised. Fast shipment (same day of payment), came extremely well packaged (overdone?) and included all manuals, boxes, receipts.
Would deal with him again (Not jsut because he's a fellow Canadian)
From some transactions from the last couple of months that have been flawless:
I sold an 80-200 to Clayphish (Clayton Tunrer) and shipped it to him in Canada. I wasn't sure about wanting to ship outside of the CONUS, but felt confident with Clayton that everything would turn out fine. He paid with PayPal and all worked out great.
I bought a 17-40 from svreid (Sean Reid) and it was packed well and in mint shape just like he said. Sean is a great seller that I'd recommend to anyone.
I bought a 550ex from Valder that was just as described and arrived promptly.
Also bought a remote from kansashoops and that worked out well.
On another note, I recommend tabrink, pidge, and kansashoops as great friends that are eager to provide support during some tought times. You can't buy friends like that! This is an amazing community and let's keep it growing!

Very good transaction with wilsonimages (Todd Wilson). Purchased a used 1D from him, and I can barely tell it from new. Plus, Todd is a really first rate guy to boot.

I am sure I have done alot more transactions on this board. Please forgive me. This is all from memory or emails I haven't deleted.
Although I haven't had a chance to do a transaction with Harveyc, he is a very honest and special member of this board. I would highly recommend Harveyc to anyone.
