True, all the way...so, I should not buy used from my fellow LUG/LEGers
because they may have bought stolen merchandise unwittingly?  Local camera
store, ditto?  Ebay, ditto?  B+H/KEH/Adorama/Del's/Silvio's, ditto?  Rich
Pinto/Sam Shoshan/Mel Levy, Ditto? where does it stop? New stuff only?  I
can't afford all new stuff.....

I have been purchasing used stuff for 35 years,,,, never once have I been
involved in anything that even remotely looks shady..... do I own stolen
stuff?  Probably.  Which pieces? I have no idea.....I buy only what I THINK
is legit.

All new camera dealer, ambulance chasing lawyers, and paranoids take
note.....  I buy used stuff from people I think are legit.......
