Sorry cannonites, but I�m making the switch. I've waited long enough. Just need a faster FF camera. My loss is your gain. Here�s what�s up for grabs:

Canon 5d: Functionally perfect. Cosmetically pristine (minus a couple paint scratches on the flash shoe). 6200 Actualizations. Bought one year ago in Korea. Works like a charm and obsessively cared for. Comes with caps, manual, cables, charger, 2 batteries, software.
New: 1,970,000
Asking: 1,500,000

Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM. Bought new one year ago from Vistek in Canada. Great wide open. Comes with caps and hood. Optically excellent. Minimal cleaning wear on the glass. Does not affect picture quality.
New: 1, 596,000
Asking: 1,200,000

Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L USM: Bought new from Vistek in Canada 3 years ago. The sharpest lens in my kit. Comes with caps and hood. Optically excellent. Minimal cleaning wear on the glass. Does not affect picture quality.
New: 962,000
Asking: 800,000

Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM: Bought new from Vistek in Canada last year. A great all around lens. Optically pristine.
New: 995,000
Asking: 850,000

Sigma 50mm f2.8 EX Macro 1:1 Lens: Bought new from Vistek three years ago in Canada. Great macros and portraits. Optically pristine.
New: 350,000
Asking: 250,000

Canon Extender EF 2x II: Bought used off ebay last year. Optically pristine. Comes with caps.
New: 395, 000
Asking: 250, 000

Price quotes are the cheapest available on www.danawa.com. Keep in mind, they are usually black market. Meaning: no warranty. The Korean ones pay proper import duties and taxes, thus are more expensive but have warranties.

A note to the interested: All boxes, lens pouches, and papers are currently stored at my folks house in Canada. They are no included here. I have a five week vacation coming up during the winter break. I am more than happy to bring the stuff back to Korea with me. You will just have to be patient is all.

Currently located in GangNeung. I will make myself available to go to Seoul for a weekend once I have confirmed all buyers. I am more than willing to barter if someone wants everything, although I doubt that will happen.

Have you considered the EOS 5D MarkII? It looks quite promising.

That is a nice set up you have. I like what Nikon is offering now a little bit better than what Cannon is offering but its still hard to imagine someone selling that much gear.
If I had the cash I would seriously considering buying some or all of your gear. As it is, the money I have is all for grad school. My wife would kill me if I bought that.

Thanks for all your replies. As I've told some of you, I'd like to wait until Tuesday to see if I can't sell the lot.

I am willing to sell the lot for 4,300,000 firm. I will also be throwing in a bag, a couple CF cards, and a Canon shutter release.

I will be contacted buyers on Tuesday morning to confirm and plan on making the trip to Seoul the weekend of October 3rd.

Again, thanks for your interest.

If you can sell your old gear, I would highly recommend that 5D Mark II. It's getting amazing reviews.
