Best Craigslist deal you have gotten on photography gear?

8 years 2 months ago #470419 by Don Granger
I managed to pick up a like new Rogue Flashbender for $8 bucks today off someone on Craigslist.  Not a big buy or that terribly big score, however money saved.  On the way home I was thinking about all deals I've gotten from CL.  None of my big ones were photography gear.  

So post up your best deal you've gotten on CL.

I picked up a 3 Legged Thing Eric for $75 last month.  It had no ball head, however still good deal in my book!

Picked up a Nikon SB800 for $150.  I thought I had gotten a pretty good deal. I've gotten deals on other things, however they aren't photography related.

So true and sad, CL has been overtaken by scams and people who mean to do harm onto others.  :(

What was unusual about my Craigslist deal was that the seller was in St Louis & I'm in Georgia.  Funny thing was we both lived outside of Baltimore around the same time frame.

My best deal was an Nikon FE3 with a 105 Micro, and 50 f/1.4, both AI for $100. I swear the guy never used it, and it also had a flash with a cord. He had it listed for $99, and wanted to give me the dollar back in change, I just told him to keep it. The 105 has a minor scratch on the body, but is pristine otherwise.
