You guys crack me up!
I offered a camera for sale and said in my original posting that I wasn't making any money on it. No one seems to have noticed that! I bought the camera on Ebay, paid more than what I am trying to sell it for, and just want to recoup some of my cost. And for doing that you guys have labeled me a:
Nitwit
Profiteer
Scalper
I have also been accused of using LULU for:
Black Market Sales
veiled physical threats
Wow, I am one BAD DUDE!
Subrata - I am taking your advise. The camera is no longer for sale here. Not For Sale. I will resell on Ebay, where black market (whatever that is) sales are acceptable.
Denny - Thanks for the info. While many have found camera's, many have not. The D800 is still selling for a premium on Ebay, for whatever reason that is. I have tracked the prices for some time. Ebay also has a graph of price trends that can be viewed. I don't make the market, it is what it is. It is good that the market has settled in your area though.
Jeremy - I am a profiteer? Did you read my original posting? Not everyone got a camera at $2,995 you know. I didn't. I paid more than I am asking. What is wrong with me trying to sell a camera and not lose my shirt on it? On your second comment, I expect people to interact as they would in person. I think Bob would have been more cordial and respectful in a face to face situation. Maybe not, I don't know Bob. But if he goes around calling people names every time he sees something he doesn't like, he must find himself in a lot of tense situations. While you didn't like my response, I feel I showed restraint. I have always respected your comments on this site and hope to continue in that fashion. I do appreciate you quoting me, however, despite your negative intent. Perhaps I should go back to the Sticks and Stones saying and ignore the Bobs of the world. Of course, I don't know if he is a friend of yours.
Jonathan - Right on. lol.
I would like to note that there was another D800 posted for sale after I posted mine, and it was for more than retail. If I remember correctly, he said he purchased it at Best Buy for $2,995. Why wasn't everyone all over him? Or did he remove the thread due to the pressure? And then there is the used one with over 5,000 clicks that actually sold for $2,995. OMG, the community must be in an uproar! A used camera being sold at full retail price!
OK. All I was trying to do was sell a camera. No more, no less. I wasn't trying to insult anybody. I wasn't trying to screw anybody. I wasn't lurking in the dark in a trench coat with several watches for sale. I just wanted to sell a camera. If you didn't like the deal, you didn't need to respond. As far as I am concerned, this is over.
Now, anyone want to buy a Rolex? JUST KIDDING! geez.
