john_markanich Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 <p>Can anyone recommend a contact for selling the contents of a complete darkroom in the New Jersey/Northeast area? I have a 4X5 Beseler Enlarger w/vaccum easel, a Jobo w/lift, an ICP42 and CAP40 roller transport processors plus all the tanks, trays, lenses, and accessories. I would like a one-stop purchase.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_shearman1 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 <p>B&H buys used gear. Take into their store, they'll look it over and have a price for you in a couple of hours and, if you accept it, cut a check on the spot. But be sure to call first to see if they are interested and realize that darkroom gear is going for pennies on the dollar these days. I think there's still a monthly swap meet in Wayne but no guarantee one person would take it all.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_markanich Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 <p>Thanks Craig. I'm aware of the big houses (B&H, Adorama, Keh...) Unfortunately, from my end, there is no way I could put all this gear in a truck and motor on down to NYC. I am looking for on-site inspection. I could then help transport or transport the gear myself in a few trips if within a reasonable distance of northern NJ. If I have to be picked apart in chunks (say the enlarger, lenses, easel or the processors etc. so be it).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 <p>For equipment that's so hard to ship, Craigslist is the way. The enlarger is a drug on the market, but the Jobo gear has value.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_shearman1 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 <p>Does Photo District News take classifieds/gear listings? That might get you to a more targeted audience of serious photographers who would be willing to pay what it's worth, assuming they have a need for it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_502260 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 <p>I am in NJ and would like to look at what you have if you are not too far away.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
