Ebay + strobist = wow.

Anyone remember a year or so ago when you could get one of these for about $150?

It always helps when the seller has spent some time selling in the object. It definitely affects the price!

Yeah I guess that was a long one. But $479? whew. They sell fast at KEH but you could get 2 for that price (or a norman 200b or 2).

Never assume that the buyer know what a realistic price is.

Never assume how desperately quick a buyer want a specific product.

But once more: Always present the product in a good way. It greatly stimulates some buyers

I've definately noticed the strobist effect on the 10 year old Nikon SB-25's. Cost of those have gone up as well! (or any remote flash with a sync terminal)

I'm about to pick me up an SB-25 for $60-ish from B&H. What'd they use to go for?

beiber: for a while you could get the sb25's for 30-40 bucks via ebay, same with the vivitar 283/285's. I got 3 283's for a total of 45 dollars last year, not counting shipping.

pwm2: i know, but man! I just picked up 2 120j's (auto not TTL's) for $200, if I didnt actually want to use them Id just take some pictures of them and resell them!

$475... wow... you can get a bee and a large softbox with that...

BIN price on another unit recently was 250, wish I had stocked up on a few of those a year or so ago!
