If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. ---

When it comes to stuff like this, I STRONGLY believe in the saying that goes something like “if it looks to good to be true, it probably is.” I wouldn’t touch this with a 2,000 foot pole personally. –edit– threebearrries beat me to it! ---

If it retails for 650$ and they sell it for 69$ I would not take the risk. Probably if not sure it is a scam xD ---

Sometimes companies put wrong prices on their website. I dont know if they have to honor it, but I would guess they normally do. If you can pay with PayPal, then maybe, it’s up to you. Maybe this is what happened, maybe not. ---

FJust a heads up, if you “buy” that, you’ll never see the camera and you’ll never get your money back. ---

the biggest thing to me is that the website itself just looks sketch. like I could make that in ms paint in a few minutes. also if it was real the site owner would get infinitely better results on another website than the one he made on wix in a few minutes. facebook, reddit, or eBay would have those gone in seconds if it were real why bother making a website to sell camera equipment ---

I have spent a LOT of money on camera gear over the years and there are only a few places that I ever send my money. Aside from a few smaller specialty/physical stores, I can pare the list down to just: Amazon B&H Adorama KEH If you find a price that is more than 5-10% under what those companies are selling something for, it is 100% not legit. ---

Craigslist, Facebook marketplace are the places with the DEALS Works better if you live in a major city as opposed to the boonies
