Help needed in western Melbourne

Hi Everyone,
Not bird related sorry! But are there any members in or near St Albans in Melbourne?
I found a gumtree listing for a camera lens this morning that I'm interested in, but as it's a large amount of money I'm not comfortable sending it through bank deposit to strangers.
If someone could possibly pick it up and post it to me, that would be very much appreciated!!!! :)
It is quite urgent, as he wants it gone in the next few days.
So if you could help, please PM me ASAP.
Thanks!
J

Can't help with the pickup Jay- sorry.

Just be careful buying lenses second hand sight unseen.

Mould, scratches and mechanical defects may not appear on e-bay photos.

I'm sure you've done your homework though.

Which lens did you get?

Cheers

Myzo

Thanks very much to Danny (DJB78) for offering to help!! :D :D

Myzo, yep I'm quite wary but I'll make sure everything is fine :thumbup:
Decided to go with the Canon 100-400, as one turned up I can afford! :D

BB plan worked smoothly due to jay and his father being so easy to contact and willing to do everything on there end that was needed. It was actually lucky that it was my day off and the seller was living not far from my parents home so it was a visit to my parents and pick up the product and ship it by post all in a hours work.

Hope jay you can have it in your hands on Tuesday.
