Selling photo equipment

I hear many people talk about selling their gear and buying new ones. My question is how and where do people sell their camera stuff.

Well this is a good place to start

The FM buy-sell forum is insanely active.

Ebay of course

And i just bought a 1D from a sportsshooter.com member through their classifieds. (as i expected kurt was 1st class!).

Seems all of them are online, was expecting more real shops.

Btw TQ, I have a message for you in "contest #16# it's regarding my email address.

I'm guessing that this is more of a local thing. IE it varies from person to person. Personally though i dont think i'd ever even bother. I know with sporting equipment for example they just try and rip ya off. I had a pair of $300 rollar blades and took them into Play-it-Again-Sports they offered me $50.

For some reason i just have a feeling that Ritz/Wolf would try the same type of thing. I guess though that there is only one way to find out, but ya gotta realize that they need to make a profit off of it which means any offer they make you will be lower then their price which should be on par with the prices you'd find online.

I think i saw it but i'll go check the thread.

You would definately get the most dollars seeling directly to your customer.. if you sold through a Camera shop, or pawn shop you'd get penny's on the dollar and the shop gts the cash.

I have just had a major clear out of photo gear on e-bay. D60 BG-ED, EOS1N + Powerdrive, all my medium format stuff. Got almost double what I thought I would, happy bunny? YOU BET
