m_tt_donuts Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 <p>I have, it's easy. Their cut is higher but I use them instead of ebay for those "rare" items that hardly anyone is looking for but if they are looking for it will pay a premium. My $0.02 I think it's a hard place to sell a popular item like a D200, ebay would be where people look for that item. It's better suited for rare things, that few people have a need for but if they need it, it's the only place that has it. For example, I got a waterford crystal lamp for my wedding when our style is country. Sat new in box for 7 years until finally we decided to sell it. The only person who would pay a premium for it, is someone who probably broke theirs and needs an exact replacement otherwise I'd end up with someone who just wants a waterford lamp but doesn't care the model. We sold it for $50 below new it took 5 months. Reposting it over & over on e-bay just wouldn't have worked well IMHO. I find it better suited for specific rare item, than something as common as a D200 where lots are being sold at ebay. Not to say you can't try if I'm not mistaken it's free to post and pull on Amazon if it doesn't sell.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_torelli Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 <p>I've sold dozens of items on the Buy & Sell forum at fredmiranda.com over the years. It'll cost you $9.00 for a month to list your item. It will sell if you list it at a descent price. Check other listings in the forum to see what your camera has been selling for.<br> Good luck</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_ Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 <p>Please do a Google search on Photo Net: one post involved the 'Amazon policy' of a sale requiring a refund, and the buyer was not required to return the item....</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 <p>Have you tried listing it here - <a href="../gc/domain-multi">http://www.photo.net/gc/domain-multi</a></p> <p>There are a couple of D200s listed in the $500 region.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
