Buying and Selling Camera Gear and Lenses Online
craigslist can render some good deals, but you need to INSPECT everything very thoroughly in person.

check the glass for cracks, chips, spots, pits
check to ensure the autofocus works
check to ensure the manual focus works
check to ensure the manual zoom adjustment in and out works
check for excessive dust, dirt, wear and tear
ALWAYS put the lens on the camera and take a few shots. upload it to a laptop and view the results. study your pictures carefully. don't be afraid to say no. don't be afraid to negotiate the price down.

if you're not confident...have the seller meet you at a local camera/photography shop and have someone at the shop inspect it for you and test it so you don't get hosed.


I'd recommend AGAINST buying from people on forums. Even if you buy through paypal, it's not 100% guaranteed. And definitely DON'T EVER sell a lens online and have the transaction go through PAYPAL. I've already been hosed for $1,100.
