So, 

I was just about to purchase my new Canon 40D DSLR body from ebay, for a few hundred bucks cheaper than what my normal distributor (BHphotovideo.com) was selling it for.

The ebay vendor has a powerseller rating of 99.1% since 2000... So I felt they must be fairly reliable. Yet I still couldn't help but wonder how they are selling so much cheaper than the biggest video/photography retailer on the web.

I decided to Google, and I found a Digg link.

It would seem I was about to fall to a massive scam:

Close call.

Bah for waiting a couple more weeks to buy the camera though :P

	Given the current economy, I am forced to sell a bridge located near that camera store's location. Any Takers? I will price it cheap to sell fast!
