i sold a lens on hsolist the other day,after reviewing the feedback of the buyer,i clicked on the item numbers to see what else they had been buying. wow,this person is just plain photo crazy or something.

since october this person bought:

mark 1d for $5600

5d for $4500

numerous 100-400 is l's

2-300 l's

3-70-200 is l's

2-600 l's

plus dozens of other canon high end cameras,lenses/accs. too numerous to mention. i thought maybe it was a dealer,but they were not great deals. not cheap enough to make any money by re-selling.

i added up a little over $45,000 on camera stuff in just over 2 months!

and i didn't even look thru all of it!! probably 30-40 other items!!

this is one serious dude!! or a complete nut. maybe buying for a school or something???

It's probably someone speculating in the market, buying and hoping to sell at higher prices. hsolist is tremendously a seller's market. I've seen many, many used items sold for more on hsolist, not including shipping charges, than you could buy them for new on sale. Happens all across the board.

At the prices you mention, however, I reckon this person ain't making a profit. And if he's buying for a school, the school is losing BIG TIME.

There is no Canon Mark 1D. If it's a Canon 1D, then he got totally shafted at $5,600. If it's a Canon 1D Mark2, he got totally shafted. If it's a Canon 1D Mark2n, he got totally shafted. If it's a Canon 1Ds, he got totally shafted. If it's a Canon 1Ds Mark2 (in excellent shape) he did OK.

He also got totally shafted on the Canon 5D.

Well, there's no such thing as a "eos-1 mark 2d" either. But if it's a 1D Mark2, even with a couple cheap lenses, he got taken royally. Does it list the megapixel count anywhere? That'd separate the sheep from the goats and help us figure out which model we're talking about. Not that it matters much. Just fun to figure out.

The only 16.7 Mp dslr Canon makes is the 1Ds Mark2. It is currently selling for $6,800 new. If he got it and a couple junk lenses for $5,600, it's potentially a good deal (the junk lenses don't figure in — they are junk), depending on how many shutter actuations the body has (it's rated to 100,000) and what general condition it's in.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
