Hey Tom, if you want I'll give you this guy's email address. Yes?
Maybe there wasn't really anything wrong with this guy's deal. (I did leave
that option open, didn't I? You know, that option you ridiculed with your
self righteousness?)
But maybe you could get a better deal from him.
I mean after all, a brand new SF1n for $115 and a Carl Zeiss-Jena 28-80mm
zoom f1.4 - 5 (???) lens (which a knowledgeable person has told me that he
never knew Carl Zeiss-Jena even made a zoom), with a UV and a skylight
filter thrown in too, for only $100 more?
Hey silly, maybe you might even get an almost new PZ1p from him for $150 or
so? (One never knows, right?)
So you go boy and give it a try. And let me know how it works out will'ya? I
wouldn't mind it at all if you proved everything here was on the up and up.
Not at all. The guy has great prices..!
Just don't go and offend this cat by mentioning escrow transactions and you
should be okay! And his address, given only after being requested, Western
Canada, is not that big a place, right? Should be able to trace him easily
if you should get shafted, right?
(Talk about pains in the ass...)
