Not sure how true..

[nightpiper]

so cheap.... i think its a scam. like they always say "if its too good to be true, it probably isn't" lots of such scams on auction sites, so be very very very careful.

last check with CP, the D2x is retailing for $7300 incl GST. u can roughly gauge how much ringgit it shud retail in M'sia. my estimate is around RM$14000.

WHOA... thats almost same price but in SG dollars! haha :S even in thailand it costs so much :S thats CHEAP

[ParkertR]

but as we've mentioned in other threads... too good to be true is usually really too good to be true...

[awongkk]

ha ha, thought that too. maybe some guys at KL watching this now should give that guy a call and meet face to face, "yi shou jiao huo, yi shou jiao jian". , ops, not forgetting to bring lens and cf cards to test.. LOL

KL is not too far. If you are considering D2X for that price at a savings of 4 big ones, you could take leave and go KL to meet up with the guy COD.

If he refuses, its probably a scam

Either that they will just ambush you along the way and do away with your cash, you can even forget about seeing a fake D2X

Oh yah, just a personal experience. Theres this guy selling on SG ebay, D2X 2 months ago, auctioning for S$3000. I emailed him, and he mentioned that he's in Bali. I told him that I would sponsor him a trip to singapore with free hotel for 3 days if he can come and deliver the camera. He refuses, insisting that I TT half the money to him as deposit first. Then I told him, I would go over to Bali to get from him, again he refuses.

So I asked him to take a photo of the D2X and send it to me to prove he has it. He sent me a D70 photo. Furthermore the D70 photo is from the net. This dude can't even scam properly.

Last i know, is that he was de-registered by ebay.

there's a lot of scams out there..someone might be just desperate enough to fall for it. anyone remember the scam case of some rich Nigeirans leaving thier money after thier death and need guarantors to take money out of the country, catch is you have to pay out some for document fees and crap...btw...some Singaporeans actually were fooled into that. So, D2x at half price.....hahahaa...fat hope.

Yeah, it'd probably be easier to get suntan on feet whilst wearing sandals too

[tantingchin]

I have a shot of my feet like yours too, after trekking 1 day in Penang last year

[scanner]

Maybe 1 to 2 years time where 2nd price is worth that much. 4k plus...

[Paul_Yeo]

Well, sometimes its amazing to see how "unsophisticated" these fools can be. Maybe if we could identify more of these "sale" on online in the future, we could all take turns to bombard his email and give him a good time!
