Must be my lucky day...

... I just picked up a new Canon S5IS at an absolute steal on Craig's List. I really don't think the guy knew what he had. It's mine now... heheheh :)

Nice one. So you have another camera now then?

Nope... The guy tried to pull a bait & switch on me thinking I wouldn't know the difference. I reported his sorry butt to Craig's List.

Not that I really NEED one so... no real harm done. Just ticked off more than anything.

So he was a fake then.

Oh, he was real. He never real had an S5IS. It was a ploy to get me to try and take another camera. He even dropped the price. But, I was too angry to even attempt to deal with him. It was not a nice scene.

I don't know if it's a problem elsewhere, but when people here in Minneapolis respond and meet on Craiglist ads - they're robbed/beaten. We've had 4 that I've heard of in the last two months. Minneapolis Police have gone so far as to issue warnings.

Yeh that's what I meant. I didnt mean the guy himself was non exsistant but that the item he was advertising was not the actual item he was selling.
