[QUOTE="blueiron, post: 1733, member: 203"] For items like tripods, flashes, and similar accessories; yes. For camera bodies, lenses, software, and the like; no. There are too many stolen items, lots of counterfeit software, and items like lenses that look good; but have mold, internal damage, bad contacts, etc. If someone has a bill of sale for a camera body, knows what they are talking about, and can take the time to demo it; it may be worthwhile for an experienced user to determine if something is worth buying. There are too many digital cameras that are overpriced, damaged by lousy sensor cleaning and aggressive users, and outright stolen for me to be comfortable with. I would demand that a seller submit the body to a qualified evaluation at a local camera repair shop before I would buy - if the seller balks at it, I'd walk away. [/QUOTE]
