I am selling the Sigma EF-500 DG Super E-TTL II Shoe Mount Flash. I bought this from B & H about 2 months ago. It is in perfect shape, doesn't really get much use, mostly because I don't take it out enough. I am looking to gather some $$ for a new lens.

I am going to put this on ebay, but I thought I would offer it to the fine people at DPchallenge first. I figure I get a lot of info from you, and would be happy to let you have a first go at this flash.

I paid $229 + $10 shipping.

I am looking to get $200 + $10 shipping.

If interested, I can do this through Paypal ASAP. If you are interested, let me know through this thread, and I will give you a different email address.

Hope someone wants it.

Just wanted to say that I own this specific flash and have used it with my rebel xt for about 6 months now. I just shot a wedding with it this past weekend. It is a great flash for the money and does all I'll ever need it to do. Just wanted to give you a free bump and let people know this is a great flash unit.

I think i/m getting the more stupid one, i mean, the non-super as backup later this year.

BTW, the Super can be had new on ebay, shipped for $210.

Prof Fate, why would you post that comment? I am offering a good piece of equipment for a good price. Are you trying to look out for all the members here? If you can get this new on ebay for the same price, post the auction, I have checked and ebay is selling for $210 + $15 ship.

I wouldn't buy from someone dodgy regardless. Why not support a reputable seller? What if there is a problem e.g. dead on arrival or dies within a few days of arrival. Do you think these guys will help you then? The few extra dollars are well worth it.

Support the good guys instead!

Well its Friday. Too bad that someone changed my thread topic to discuss the seller ratings of ebay. I actually sold this to a friend locally so I didn't need to use ebay after all. For anyone wondering, I got $215 and they picked it up. I love bill me later from B & H. I essentially "rent things" for a few months, and sell it on ebay.

My newest purchase from selling this was a canon 100mm f/2.8 USM macro.

On Fred Miranda it's called 'rude and bad etiquette' by the moderator when someone does this. I've seen it. Unfortunately that's not in the rules here at DPC :/ But I agree....it's not very nice. Just my opinion though. :)

Congratulations on the sell and the new lens!
