The one thing I do not understand is, what good would boxes and manuals do for the seller? If I sell an item, and the buyer do not want the manuals and boxes, I would have thrown it all away. If I do not have the product anymore, these things would be useless to me.
I would hesitate to call the seller a cheat. You did get your 5Dm2 right? and the camera is as advertised right? That is the most important part. The seller could have an emergency, or lost his phone and many other possible reasons. Give him a couple more days. And do not be nasty. If you get too nasty, he might react negatively, and in the end, you can kiss your stuff goodbye.
In the meantime, download a digital copy of the manual.
well the box and manual can cost a lot of difference.
with the box and manual u could get more money, cos it got resales value.
well he might have over reacted
but after all the seller promise to sell with the box and manual, so its the seller duty to bring all the items as promise.
I agree that the box and manual has some value to the buyer. But what I was saying was that it holds a lot less value to the seller, who do not have the camera anymore.

Pls check your USB port on your camera!!!
For the benefit of adult (as he told me), I take it that he was too busy at work and was so tired that he was unable to reply my repeated calls and messages last week.
...
He was supposed to pass me a Domke bag as well (which he verbally told me when we settled for the deal) - but for the benefit of adult i just take it that was too busy and was unable to respond to my calls and messages.
Just wondering why you talk abut the usb thingy? do you know something about this cam?
Just a word of caution, remember to check that the serial no. of the box matches the body.
I had an experience once whereby the warr card given to me didn't belong to the lens. only realised it when i got home.
I was lucky and got a new lens from John 3:16 after 1 month of following up.
You'll never know how or by what means the camera was purchased or obtained.
The last thing you want is to show up at CSC when a fault in the camera, and be told that it's listed as stolen.
Very true. This is the importance of box and papers.
5Dm2 not exactly a cheap item.
If you are busy, some sort of explanation would be required to protect yourself from any miscommunication errors. I'm sure theres always a minute in a day to send out an sms.
fully agree. does anyone out there really believe that a person can be that busy to reply? remember it is the seller fault in the 1st place.
"some additional items like camera bag, box/manuals "
did you read about the camera bag too?

I apologize if i seem like a fussy prick but I believe that one should hold up to his principles and promises...
hais..
