I saw the other day at auctions.yahoo.sg Canon EOS1D Mark II bidding price starts from RM450 and EOS5D from RM350 (both with Tamron 28-85 lens). Person posting the auction has got no previous history (newbie).

Is the above offer too good to be true or just a scam?

Your advice is appreciated guys before I got conned as the starting price for a brand new DSLR is ridiculous.

I think it is a scam. Be very very careful. Especially with China sellers.

starting bidding price only ma. some new items in yahoo japan starts from 1 yen but reaches near retail value at the end of the auction. check if seller has a minimum release bid or if he can choose to not sell if below a certain bid.

newbie = big possibilty a con man ... (or may be he just try his luck to con) hahahaha

buy from some seller v good feedback la. rather than u throw yr money to try yr luck ... later cannot get back ... then how ...
i rather pay more.. right or not

there isnt any free meal in this world.....
dont risk...

If I was stupid, and if I were you, I'd buy it.

Auction need to bid la... so normally the price in the end won too far compare to the real price. Enjoy the bidding progress

no reserve price, but when the item was posted it was only for a short period i.e. 3 or max 5 days. I just add to my watchlist but until the bid closed there was no bids.

but I checked again today, there was one being auctioned at eos 1D mark II at yahoo sg auctions

the seller have rating of 10, a guy bought the same DSLR only for SGD386. Convert that to RM it would be a fraction of the price of the same model being sold here.

Anyway, dare not bid......better save money and buy from reputable seller/shop or friend
