If you're in the market for two of Canon's most popular and highest quality zoom lenses, now is a great time to pick them up.
eBay seller 6 Ave has the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM and EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lenses for $1,399 and $1,529, respectively. These lenses normally hover at $1,749 and $1,949, so it's an incredible deal. These are two of Canon's most popular and versatile lenses, living in the bags of numerous wedding, portrait, landscape, event, and sports photographers. I personally own both and have never been disappointed by the performance or image quality of either; I'm routinely amazed by their near prime-like performance.
One thing to note is that these are grey market purchases, meaning 6 Ave is not a Canon authorized seller; thus, you are not guaranteed a Canon warranty. I've never heard of Canon refusing to service such a lens, but they do reserve the right not to. If you'd rather purchase from an authorized seller, you can use these links: 24-70mm f/2.8L II and 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II. There's no guarantee on how long these will be available at these prices, so get them now!

Grey market. No thanks.
I have had 1 repair on canon glass in 15 years and dozens of cameras/lenses owned. They don't break.
Grey Market, generally means that the lens doesn't have a USA warranty. Other than that, it's the same lens, made in the same factory. And besides, the Canon warranty is usually only 1 year and as previously stated, these lenses don't break. I've purchased grey market L lenses (17-40 and 16-35) and have had no issues. But to each their own.
Grey market..... from an eBay seller. Enough said.
Bought my 5D III from the same seller 3 years ago. Works like charm. They have the 5D IV for $2799 as well.
