The Great Discontent

I officially made the switch to Nikon with the purchase of a new D90 and now I have an almost brand new Canon XSi that I am trying to sell. I listed the XSi along with a bunch of other goodies (50mm 1.4, Battery Grip, etc.) last week and just had some numbskull try to scam me into sending it to Ukraine after I accepted his offer. Unbeknownst to some, there isn’t delivery confirmation when shipping to Ukraine so the odds of him saying that he didn’t receive it and issuing a chargeback are very high. I declined and contacted eBay with the story. This morning I received an email from eBay saying that the dude’s account had been unknowingly compromised. Frustrating to say the least, wasting more of my time re-listing the camera.

Sometimes upgrading equipment can be a real pain in the ass. </rant>
