Contemplating Switch - Gauging Interest for all gear

This is de facto an AUCTION which is NOT allowed on this forum. However you can list them on EBay and post link here as FA.
You don't have to post your asking price, but Feelers and public Bidding is NOT allowed, should be done through PM only.

I would happily put $500 on the 100mm f/2.8L II IS

They have a Mk II now??? Shiver me timbers.

This post represents poster's (mis)interpretation of the rules. There is nothing in the referenced link proscribing auctions (which are allowed and do not have to be run through eBay)
Feelers are not allowed, but this appears to be a bona-fide offer of equipment. Offers should be made via PM, email, or other traceable form of communication. See this thread. The blatant low-balling posts to date have been deleted.

Jon, I understand that my post was deleted but I only posted a counteroffer after somebody placed a very low offer believing it was OK to do so. I definitely don't want to violate any forum rules.
I sent a PM to the seller but haven't heard from him, so I can imagine there is bidding going on via PMs.

My post was in jest. I apologize for any misunderstanding. I wasn't low-balling anything.

correct resale prices for the 24-70. 85 and 70-200 version IIs are from $1600 to $1700

It sounds like you'd like everyone else to do your research for you. You might be better off doing it yourself.

Sorry for my mis-interpretation. Looks like auction IS allowed here, but submit your bid via PM, email or whatever, but not publicly by replying to the post.

When I went Fuji it was awesome but I'm thankful i never got rid of my canon gear. Get a mirrorless with a 35 for walking around and keep your stuff. You are pretty invested.

ok. I updated the price list in the original post.

Im contemplating switching to SONY, but it depends on how easy/how much it takes to do the swap. If I keep getting low balls, then Ill probably just wait until the 5d mark4 comes out and hope to god it has a really nice sensor. I won't lie, I am jealous of the EXMOR sensors...

Have you looked into the new Sony A7R II. It holds a lot of promise and apparently uses many of the newer Canon lenses just fine.

If the yet to be produced 5D Mark IV is in your price range, the new Sony may be the camera for you. Only problem I see with it is fast focusing for sports with adapted lenses and that is probably no more of a problem you would have with any of the other mirrorless cameras.

That's the exact camera which started this initiative. If I don't hit the numbers I want with this sale, then I will most likely just get the sony body and use an adapter.

Nice collection you have there!

If you want to get a feel for what "rock bottom" prices should be, check out the Buy-Back prices offered by Amazon, B&H, KEH, etc. They will give you cash/store credit with no shipping charges, no 3% PayPal fees, and no 10% eBay fees. It is hassle free for you, albeit low-end prices, and they might make a deal on the whole collection in one shipment.

I have found quite often that the Buy-Back deals offered are better than many forum offers and eBay selling prices once you adjust down to your NET after fees and shipping. I have also found that the prices offered vary day-to-day, so check back often.

GLWS ...

thanks for the heads up. i just checked out amazon, and they will only give me 1170$ on the 70-200. you're right about the low prices. we'll see what happens.
