Looking for gently used or new Canon LP-E10 batteries for Canon Rebels.
Looking for gently used or new 4GB, 8GB, 16GB SD cards (write speed is not an issue).
If you have any offers or suggestions, please PM me. This is for instructional purposes (paid out of pocket) and I'm hoping someone is willing to donate or sell these to me on the cheap.
I'm hoping this type of post is welcome here, but if not, my apologies and feel free to delete.
I've recently taken over as the photography teacher at a local high school. I consider myself really lucky to have this job, and for the program to be in fairly decent shape. We have a classroom set of Canon Rebel T7s and a handful of older Canon Rebel T5s for students to check out if they'd like to use them at home and/or on the weekends. Unfortunately, since these cameras have been purchased piecemeal over the years, the cameras, and batteries in particular, are in varying states of disrepair.
Since I teach multiple classes, I'll often have students run out of battery mid-class. We plug the battery in, but it takes a few hours to charge, so that camera is out of commission for a few hours. It's usually multiple classes later when the camera is up and running again. I try to charge them overnight whenever possible, but sometimes the students don't alert me, or the batteries just run down very quickly in the old cameras. As such, despite having enough cameras, I'm often low on batteries.
What would be incredibly helpful would be to have a reservoir of extra batteries. The Fine Arts department has a fairly limited budget and isn't too keen on buying extras, so I'm left to fend for myself. I'm hoping I can find some new and/or gently used ones floating around the photography community that you'd be willing to sell for cheap and/or donate.
Additionally, you know how teenagers are... SD cards get lost all the time. And, sometimes they just break. Hoping to find some 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB cards in good working order to purchase in bulk. Another 10-20 would make things so much easier around here.
Thanks for your consideration.
