As both a buyer AND seller, I've found the ads informative and all the people I've dealt with to be honest and helpful. As a side issue, besides the ads themselves, also check into the possibilty that a camera or "photographica" show may be coming to your area. The shows are not only a lot of fun, but you'll also get to handle the merchandise [un- less it's that gold-and-alligator-skin Leica kept under the bullet-proof glass!]. I've gotten several cameras at shows and have always been happy with my purchases. Some of the exhibitors are just trying to clear out their attics and won't even take a check; however, the big dealers make their living doing the show circuit and take anything, including trades and plastic money!
