Just completed my transaction with Ramstrong for my 5DMkII.

Very forthcoming and clear communication. Settled all doubts in one phone call and proceeded with the payment. He was very accommodative about the mode of payment and paid immediately.

Upon receipt, he informed me immediately and acknowledged that the box and its contents were intact and everything was functioning as expected.

Really no hassles and highly recommended for future transactions.

Thank you, Ramstrong and JJMPF. :-)



I am one happy man ;D (happy as I've moved to FF) with the addition of the Canon 5D Mk II to my arsenal, which I received last Friday (09 Aug 13).

To be honest, basically had 2 apprehensions about this deal. one about the present condition of the camera after 2 years usage (as the photos depicted in WTS were shot in 2011 when it was bought brand new) & the second was whether the camera will reach safely to Bangalore without any damage etc. (as it being a high value item & since the risk was with the buyer i.e., me). Due to this I was in a dilemma for about a fortnight whether to go for it or not.

Finally, took a positive decision & contacted Manoj on Sunday (05 Aug 13) evening. We decided to talk the next day as I was outside.

When I had called Manoj on 06 Aug 13, (Monday) morning to clarify, he assured me that he will take care of my concerns & ensure that the camera reached me safely.

To assuage my concerns Manoj even went to the extent of offering to send the camera through his mom personally as she was expected to come to Bangalore (by air) next week, though I turned down his offer.

I also checked whether CF card was included in the package (as it was not mentioned clearly in the WTS thread) for which he responded saying that though it was not part of the deal, nevertheless, he will include a 4GB CF card to sweeten the deal.

I got a confirmation on the night of 08 Aug 13, (Thursday) that the camera is on its way thru DTDC Premium fully insured. Typically it takes two days to one week for the items to reach (based on my past experience) from Pune to Bangalore. So it was a pleasant surprise when I got the camera within just one day.

The packing was too too good. It took an hour to unwrap the (5 layers ) package & reach to the camera box and the contents inside. I could imagine the time & effort that must have gone into packing the item. Thanks & really appreciate that.

On opening the box, I was pleasantly surprised to see an 8GB SanDisk Ultra CF card sitting right on top :o. Thanks for that too.

The Camera looked like brand new (as depicted in the photos); smelt very good (don't mind aping Jared Polin a.k.a 'The Fro knows photo dot com' in this aspect ;D) & all the items were there exactly as described. Checked the functionality of the camera etc. & confirmed back to Manoj.

Have uploaded some photos shot with the camera in flickr.

In fact, there was some left over money, meant for the shipping charges, with him after the dispatch of the item which he has transferred yesterday to my account (though I didn't get the time to check the A/C & confirm due to busy Monday schedule).

It was a pleasure interacting with Manoj on this deal. I am happy & fully satisfied. ;D ;D ;D

Highly recommended.

Thanks to you Manoj & JJMPF.  :-*

Had a sweet experience in dealing with a senior member of this forum, Ashis "Sweetlime"( http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4002 ). The equipments (D200 & lens) were in pristine condition. He is very knowledgeable & generous on share it.

He is simple & clear in the transaction, easily approachable & lent lots of patience.

The equipments changed hands real quick & smooth. I feel lucky to have a camera & lens thats been taken care so well.

Even I had a very great experience dealing with sweetlime. Very knowledgeable gentleman!

I had bought the Nikon AI-S 50mm f1.4 MF lens from him in Bangalore in April 13. The item condition was pristine & the transaction was smooth.

I was new to the forum at that time & didn't knew about this thread, so didn't leave any feedback then. Making up for that now. :)

Highly Recommended seller.

Thanks Sweetlime & JJMPF! ;D

Thank you Prashanth & Ramstrong for your kind words .

I appreciate you coming to my residence from other far away parts of the city . Seeing is what believing  :-)  ,  which makes it easy for both parties  .  It was nice meeting you  and  I am happy knowing that you will remember me as someone having similar interest and not as a seller !!

Absolutely! That's why I still remembered you even after 4 months & made the belated post about our transaction. Will always remember you as a gentleman with profound knowledge about photography. :)
