2nd hand cameras

ive been trawling ebay recently just incase i see a bargain and ive been noticing a lot of refurbished 5D's going fairly cheap. Are refurbished cameras worth looking at?

It depends on who refurbishes them.
Also, I've seen factory refurbs that were selling for close to the price of a new model. I'd be very slow to buy a refurb off the Internet, simply because you don't know what you're getting.

It's always better to test drive something which isn't new.

2nd hand private sale should be fine once you check it out first and steer clear of the scam ads on buyandsell and gumtree where they advertise it as being located in Leinster or some other Irish province - then when you reply to the email you find out that its a 'shop in london'.
