Craigslist

[Richard_JP]

Hi Everyone,

I'm hoping that some of you can help please. I am looking at some RED 1 packages on Craigslist, and I have seen some bargains. Bargains that seem to good to be true... So they probably are.

But being a fairly savvy person, I won't get done over by any scammers (for example, sending cash via any means. Collection only). But I'm interested to find out if there is any way to establish whether these are stolen cameras? Does RED have a database of the cameras that are stolen that have never been returned to the rightful owner?

Also, has anyone here bought an R1 from Craigslist. How did it go? Anything to watch out for (other than being held at gun point like Ketch)?

Thanks to anyone that can help

Richard

There are lots of Red ones sold here. I'd stick to this forum or to local people you know are legit.

I wouldn't trust Craiglist to buy a camera. Here is a good place to.

Yeah I kinda get it can be sketchy. But a bargain is a bargain.

I think that if there was a way of purchasing it safely and checking that it's not stolen and all working, what's the problem?

I'm into saving money... Which would go a good way to buying some RED glass!

Anyways, I won't get scammed, I'll have my minders with me

Red have a list of stolen cameras, why not email them. Regarding working etc, I would pick it up directly and check yourself.
