WTF?? Anyone ever seen this before?

Someone on the local CL is selling a Canon XSi with a Tamron 17-55mm lens for $650, which is high but not outrageous. And someone else posted a RE: post basically dissing the camera and telling people it's not worth that much. Is it kosher to try to crush someone else's sale on CL? I wouldn't think so, but maybe that's normal. I see so many scams that never get responses and here is a legit sale that some a-hole tries to ruin.

Top two posts.

uncalled for. assuming the buyer knows how to do research. an email would have done well.

well, considering the original poster said that the shutter actuations is the number of shots they had available left on the memory card....

and i think the XSi goes for next to nothing. But still, trash talking someone elses add is ridiculous.

Agreed, the OP was full of it and his price was high, but there has been several obvious scam posts and the CL Nanny said nothing about them.

And yes, some people refer to the two cities as Chambana. Not even sure why they are two separate cities. It's not like there's a gap between them.
