I've dug a bit deeper. It appears as if Sears is now advertising for 3rd parties like Amazon does. The seller is "The electronics limited" and they have zero seller feedback. They have three items for sale. A Nikon D3x for $5500, which is not as absurd a discount as their 5DII price, but is still low enough to be suspect. They also have an unlocked iPhone for $680, which I am lead to believe is about right. Expensive DSLRs and iPhones are popular items for scammers to "sell." There is no phone # to call, but there's a "click to call" popup where you enter your phone # and they call you. The whole thing reeks TBH. SlickDeals has a thread about this: Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR Camera with Canon EF 24-105mm IS lens at Sears.com $1400 - SlickDeals.net Forums Googling the seller's email address yields this: Kempton OnlineDIY /me sings Scam scam scam scam scammmity SCAAAM.

The going price for that combination is ~$3300. I strongly suspect Sears pays well over $1400 for that kit. If not, I'll take two.

Nice use of the 10-22, Haj. Kind of re-kindles my interest in one. That is, if I weren't trying to move away from APS-C (and digital cameras altogether, for that matter).

Included for ZOMG SPACEHEATER value. A photos found via a few GISes, several of which lead back to this very thread.

It sure looks like one. A lot of shirt designs show up in the randompictures feed.

A crusty old Marine Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event hosted by a local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of extremely young idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant Major for conversation. “Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very serious man. Is something bothering you?” “Negative, ma’am. Just serious by nature.” The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, “It looks like you have seen a lot of action.” “Yes, ma’am, a lot of action.” The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said, “You know, you should lighten up. Relax and enjoy yourself.” The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner. Finally the young lady said, “You know, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?” “1955, ma’am.” “Well, there you are. No wonder you’re so serious. You really need to chill out! I mean, no sex since 1955! She took his hand and led him to a private room where she proceeded to “relax” him several times. Afterwards, panting for breath, she leaned against his bare chest and said, “Wow, you sure didn’t forget much since 1955.” The Sergeant Major said in his serious voice, after glancing at his watch, “I hope not; it’s only 2130 now.”

I always wanted the username "Max Bialystock" or maybe "postjack." I'm not picky.
