I may be getting one of my most one sided trades yet!

[SAWYER]

I posted my Nikon D3100 on POTN saying I would trade for a t2i. I get a message from a guy wondering if I would trade for an XSi, 430 ex, kit lens and a 50 1.4. I instantly say yes and then he comes back with the same offer minus the 1.4. I say no thanks and then he messages me back saying he will do the first trade offer. I am having a hard time thinking this is real and I told him I would not ship first and he claims he will be shipping it out Friday, so I shall see.

Good luck! Hopefully it works out. Welcome to the awesome side

You are doing this long distance (ie, shipping)? I don't think it's gonna happen. (IOW, he's thinking up a scam).

 

[SAWYER]

Yeah he is supposedly shipping first so we shall see, I have nothing to lose

Is this really much better than the D3100? The 50 and flash are nice, but I think the 3100 is actually a better camera.

 

[SAWYER]

Of course the d3100 is better, I am going to be selling all of it. I was selling the d3100 for 425 shipped.

If this deal works out I figure I can sell this or my other XSI and kit lens for 325, the Speedlite for 175 and the 50 1.4 for 300

what you're selling me the 50 1.4 for $250? okay

 

[swanysto]

I think you should forget selling the XSi and build this:

He texted me today and sent tracking numbers. He said he used to shoot Nikon film and had a bunch of old lenses and wanted to go back to Nikon for digital, fingers crossed! Priority and insured

 

[SAWYER]

Well the deal is real, my package came in today and I just opened it up and will be testing everything later!

Well, lemme first eat my humble-pie, and then accept that sometimes, things do happen as they should!

Good for you - do tell how you find the switch.

I was skeptical as well! I already had an Xsi prior to the trade and I picked this D3100 up from someone who needed money pretty bad. I got the d3100 with kit lens and a 55-200 for 350. I sold the 55-200 on craigslist for 120 and posted the body/kit lens on potn. It really surprises me because if the guy is on that site he obviously should know about the values

some people I find just want to move something fast so don't want to bother with trying to get full value for something I find.

I mean I just got an insane deal myself. the lens I got for my gf3 goes easily for 100ish on ebay and I picked it up for 50, and the gf3 well not sure what amazon was thinking but I'll take it for 196.

alot of money to be made on Craigslist just watching for people who are in that I'm desperate to make rent tommrow and need to sell something now.
