In the two years I've been watching Craigslist I've only managed to score two good deals.
A ZX-7 w/ FA28-80 and FA80-320 and a Quantaray flash for $50. I had to drive 120 miles round trip to pick it up.
A P30T w/ F35-135 and several flashes for $50. I sent the guy a $75 postal money order and had him ship it to me. It was the middle of winter and it would have been a 180 mile round trip. I figured the extra $25 was worth not dying in a snow drift in Deliverance county.
I haven't ever seen anything in the Syracuse area worth buying
A ZX-L with 3 Promaster lenses for $300?
A Sigma 70-300 "Just used once!" for $130?
$120 for an Optio I-10? "Very similar to a DSLR!"
A K1000 w/ 2 Vivitar lenses for $125, a K1000 w/ 2 unspecified lenses for $100.
The only thing even remotely worth considering is a K1000 w/ M50/2 for $35. And that seller had to reduce his original price. But I already have a M50/2 and an A50/2 and a M50/1.7 and two A50/1.7s that I don't use because I have an A50/1.4 and a Super-Tak 50/1.4...
There's something worth buying. A FA50/1.4 for $250. If i had $250 to spend.
