SCL Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 <p>In addition to looking up pricings at the sites mentioned above, other factors such the condition of your gear, whether it has been kept in a smoke free environment, and whether you are selling thru a dealer, or independently, on line or in person, all come into play.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMvW Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 <p>Box helps for collectors of the highest snob value, but I think is not a serious problem for user-collectors.</p> <p>Check eBay, it's really the only place to get truly current values. Look on the European as well as American eBays.</p> <p>eBay is sensitive to rapid fluctuations of the sort of caused by collapse of the Euro from the PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain) or an American default.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_rochkind Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 When you do sell, sell the body and lenses separatelty Make sure the photos are plentiful and good. Describe the exact condition (every scratch and scrape) precisely, and any maintenance. If you're the original owner, that's a big plus, so be sure to say so. The more photos and words in your listing, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 <p>It occurs to me that it is not obvious to everyone that the values on eBay you need to check are not the prices ASKED, but the prices actually paid on items that sold (check completed listings on the search conditions).</p> <p>Many ask outrageous prices, and those items go <em>unsold</em> without a single bid, or with no bids meeting the "reserve".</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiebedell Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 <p>You will get the best price from Ken Hansen. Email him at <a href="mailto:y@aol.com">khpny19@aol.com</a> and he will give you a very good price...I know from experience..Robbie Bedell</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josef_tornick Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 <p>no dealer will ever give you the "best Price", as they have to resell the item at a good mark-up. Ebay is very good if you are careful, and know what you are doing, including following many of the above good suggestions. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
