Use units for the search pace you need

Review before contacting a seller

  • Confirm the Craigslist listing still shows the item and location you expected.
  • model and generation
  • battery, storage, or shutter-count details
  • included charger, box, controller, or accessories
  • whether CPU terms is clear in the source listing
  • Decide whether CPU terms should become a stricter include rule after this match.

Improve the search from match reasons
