Matt - when do you think buying a 70d is okay already?

Goooood question. That makrketing company called me to come back and rep them again this year..... I would wait at bare minimum to black Friday or after. I got my ultra crazy deal at best buy, but made them match an amazon price. It was mid December I bet.

I'll help keep an eye peeled. The Fucking 70-200 has been more expensive than the first month or so it came out.... So I am watching prices.

Wasn't really for price I was asking, more for not getting the first batch as that is NEVER a good idea in anything. I am going to Asia on Nov 5th ish so it'll be before then...

Oh fuck.

I'm retarded. Buy with confidence. ALL the Canons that had issues(grip, shutter, firmware) have been eligible for complete replacement.

Buy soon so I can play with it too.

And by grip I mean the oxidizing issue.

Honestly..... I am pretty sure the first MFG run has been distributed in near completion by now. Mid October I bet you will find second runs from high volume retailers. I love looking it up online and then hustling best buy to match it.

Sometimes it means I pay tax, but I have the ability to walk in and yell at someone. And that is the entire point of B and M retail.

Miata I was looking at is sold. 

There are 2 others, at 50 miles from Frankfurt (so close to where i have a flight), one with, one without hardtop. Everybody keep their fingers crossed I can get the one with hardtop

Zoomzoomz!

 

Looks like Ryan's luck is rubbing off me, counting 2 Miata's sold under my nose. Both with hardtop. Apparently I'll have to settle for a soft-top one and buy a hardtop later on. CRAP. 

Fucking pissed germans won't answer their phones. I want to buy your car not ask you out on a date...wtf...

Mazda, reservation, you call me next morning. Good grief, I hope this one doesn't sell either. I promised not to buy another black car but if it is, it is. 

Nothing like zoom zoom urges.

i miss my mazdaspeed 6, true zoom zoom

I think I'd actually pay extra (ie tax) to buy at National Camera.

Not unusual.  Fuckers at my company don't even have voicemail.

 

Have to say I called once on the car, got no answer and then forgot.  Sorry for that.

Interesting.  IMO there are only two colors a car should be.  Black or black

No worries, it was sold some time ago. 

They're rampant idiots, when you have a car for sale you answer your damn phone.

I love the Jeep in black, personally I wouldn't have it in other color. But it's a pain to keep clean. Our roads are much much dirtier. 

 

And another one not answering the phone....

I didn't know they would match. Places like B&H I suppose?

I doubt I would support west photo. I was disappointed in them. But I will probably walk in and play with their shit to confirm my purchases.

String theory!

Fucking hell, they answer the phone and speak only german. Fucking fuck.

They are lying.  They ALL speak English.

Anyways, I got called back, red 94, soft-top, a bit of rust, paint looks good, 90k miles. The guy was asking 1300 euros, he said he would let it go for 1000. He promised to send me pictures of the rusty areas. But for the price, if it's in good mechanical condition, it's a bargain.

Bit of an inspiration....
