Re: Looking for an SX-240

2008-11-13 by MFAitkenJr

Hi Antoine,

Congrats on winning the SX!  I had my eye on that one, but I was a
little short on cash.  I've sold some gear, hence my offer to buy an
SX240 at a higher price. One in the condition I'm looking for may be
worth a little more, but I still think it's a fair price.  Any takers
out there?
