Just had a read of that post on the other forum.
Reads just a bit iffy to me ... 5.32 he is on his way to get it and back posting at 6.06. Only 1/4 mile drive but he has to go both ways, negotiate for the included tripod, test the lens (anyone would test it first I would have thought) get back and unload (then test it if not already done) then post back on forum.
in 34 mins. ???
Hmmm, not so sure.

Would you bother to test it ? Even just for parts it must be worth plenty.

But I would have tested it when I got home if not there. I certainly wouldn't have gone back to post on the forum first.
Looking at his previous posts he says he has a K-5 but now it's a k-7.
Hope the guy did get a bargain but the post just looks a little too contrived and he seems too calm for my liking .. I would be REALLY rubbing it in

what amazed me was that he didn't know what it was!!! Surely a Pentax lens as big as that would have you snatching at it, can't beleive he even knocked them down from $175...

Indeed. From his first post :what amazed me was that he didn't know what it was!!! Surely a Pentax lens as big as that would have you snatching at it, can't beleive he even knocked them down from $175...

Wow ! A Pentax Forum. I cant find Pentax DSLR equipment at our local stores. But I bought a istD at a tag sale for $25.50 a few years ago and I was hooked. Now I have evolved to a K-5 with a serious lens buying addiction.
An you mean to tell me he left a F* 250-600mm for $175 at a yard sale to drive home and check the value on a forum?Wow ! A Pentax Forum. I cant find Pentax DSLR equipment at our local stores.

Maybe I'm just too suspicious though.
