So i preordered pretty early (12:40 est from B&H) and the camera is 3500. no tax or shipping cost. i just dont know if its the best idea for me to be spending all that money right now. if i get it in the first shipment do you think there is money to be made on ebay? wouldnt it be cheaper for europeans to buy from me for 4000 usd or something? im not a scammer i just wonder if i can make some money for a lens due to canons international pricing policies/availability of product
Profit to be made on mark iii?

It would be a risk.
Europeans can buy from Hong Kong and not only save money, but get the Canon Warranty. There is zero warranty when you buy a camera from a non authorized seller.
Canon has two dedicated factories building the 5D MK III, and production should catchup very fast with pre-orders.
Ebay / Paypal fees will eatup a lot of a sale price, $200 and more or less, depending on domestic or international sales, and your ebay cost structure. So you might need to get $4200 to make it a reasonable risk, and most would not pay that.
A ton of authorized sellers will be offering them for 200-500 over retail. They can do that, because they get them wholsale.
Thats just a opinion, but I have well over 10,000 ebay sales for my business and for personal items like cameras and lenses.
