I bought a Gitzo tripod and full Wimberly head from godfather (Chris).
The items were in near perfect condition, securely packed, and shipped promptly. Communication was excellent; he sent pics of the items disclosing points of visible wear that I could hardly discern when I inspected them.
Thanks, Chris.

Buyer: Canadajoe (Paul Harmel) Item: Canon 17-40mm f4L lens Comments: Paul picked up my slightly used 17-40L almost immediately after I posted it for sale, paid with Paypal immediately as well, we spoke once on the phone to iron out the details, very nice individual.
A big A+ for Steve (username sjmilzy). He is new to the forum, but he arrives with quite a spectacular transaction. Steve sold me his Canon 500L IS with case and extras. It is in perfect condition and the extras are appreciated. His communication was prompt, and he shipped immediately upon my echeck clearing.
Welcome to the forum, Steve. After coming through like this, I must say I consider him a trusted member of the fm b/s community.
Bought a tamron lens from Steve, got it today 5/26 and its in great condition. After i had bought it i found out i was going to florida and needed it by today, asked him if he would be able to ship 2nd day with me picking up the cost and he said no problem. Lens is in great shape with everything that is supossed to come with it if it was new. I would not hesitate to do business with Steve again and highly recommend him to anyone.

Item: Canon 430EX Flash
Comments: Great sale. De was prompt with delivery and accurately described the flash as LNIB. I got what I paid for at a good price. Also, he requested a postal money order and the transaction went smoothly. Recommended!
Tom (username: tom in mpls) puchased my Canon 500mm F4 IS from me and his payment was prompt and all e-mails were responded to with speed and professionalism. What makes this tranaction unique is the fact that this is my first sale on FM and also my first sale on the internet. Tom took a huge chance with a lot of money although the pay-off was big. Thanks Tom for a great experience for me selling for my first time.
Username: Rivet (Yu)
Item: Canon RS-60E3 cable release
Comments: A real pleasure dealing with Yu. He paid quickly and kept me informed as to when the cable arrived.
Dealt with Dave in a very quick fashion on this lens today. His payment arrived quickly, and with no hassles or haggling. Even though he's a brand new member here at FM, I'd do business with him again in a heartbeat.
