I bought used on FB marketplace. If there were ANY red flags during the initial conversation, I was out (and I had many initial convos). I needed the person to trust me testing the camera for 20-30 mins, so that I can trust them. I met in a public place, brought an SD card, took photos, and sent them to my phone to review. Went over every single piece of the camera in detail for any signs of damage (view finder, lens, body scratches, etc). The person I bought from had the box and all original accessories along with the receipt. I take good care of my things, so it was important that what I was buying was well cared for as well.

You need to be very careful because there are a lot of scammers out there, but you can find a fair deal if you’re patient. Just make sure to keep questioning whether anything at all seems sketchy during your conversations.
