I'd like to help out my fellow FM'ers by buying my stuff on the B&S forum, but right now no one is selling the Canon 24-70L at ~$1100. Where do you guys go to buy second hand stuff?

Tried eBay and Craigslist, but nothing. Is there another forum that does this kind of stuff? Thanks.

Have you already posted a WTB post of Buy and Sell?
KEH, Adorama have good reputations for used lenses.

In order to post in B&S, I have to buy a subscription first. That's like another $15. I just want to buy and be done... I need this lens (hopefully) before 10/10, because I got some weddings to shoot... :\

There are quite a few 24-70's on eBay at the moment but they seem to be going for quite high prices. Apart from the suggestions previous posters have made you might also try the B&S boards at POTN.

You can always rent a lens for the near term.

There are a couple good sites I can suggest one is my second most used forum and that's POTN just enter that into a search and you will find it. The second is www.dgrin.com they are good but not much action their

I would stick to FM, a lot of the people here have perfect gear that they just don't use. I bought a 24-70 from here that was pristine for 925 UU coded. If you have a price in mind, stick to it and you'll run along someone who is tryin to make a deal and sell a lens. good luck

No used 24-70L on KEH, Adorama, or B&H... and "POTN server is inaccessible due to routine maintenance" Just my luck...

dgrin.com has a few WTB, but no FS... not recent anyways...

I guess I can't blame anyone, who in right mind would want to get rid of such awesome lens!

Well, posting a WTB does not guarantee you a lens (mostly luck), plus, there are already a few WTB's in the B&S forum, so I am not necessary first in line...

Ahh, but when you establish yourself here with great feedbacks....folks will literally bend over
to deal with you. Ya have to start somewhere/sometime and our B&S's the best out there.

Like Will says, Once I posted people came to me even though others had posted also. You won't know untill you try. Even on down the rode once you're in it works to your advantage... The deals I've gotten here that weren't posted were well worth the price of admission...

There are three on Minneapolis Craigslist right now, low at 950 and high at 1050 (I think). I had one and drown it in a river on accident. Wish I would have had it covered by insurance when I did that. D'oh!

Own one and lug it around for a few years... then get back to us. I was seriously happy when I sold mine.
