kaylee Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 heyyy guize ? so, i live on a mountain now, and my usual method of using craigslist and meeting someone in person to sell camera gear is not an option unless i wanna drive a loooong way i threw my perfect used condition 24-105 up on ebay for $480, thinking that was a no brainer, and there were no bids! then i put it up again, and at the last minute someone bid on it and won. he contacted me and was like YOU MUST GET TO A UPS STORE TONIGHT. MY WIFE NEEDS THE LENS IN TEXAS TOMORROW and i was like holy s is this ebrahim??? so that was a scam lol Emanuel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Haha, only on eBay... it probably wasn’t a scam... it’s just that there are a large majority of people on eBay that are ridiculous human beings. Why are you selling the 24-105mm? I was thinking of buying the Sigma version. Are you ditching your 5D3 and ML Raw as well? kaylee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowbro Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 That was a scam, I get almost the exact same message over and over every time I list something (State Classifieds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its great for barely used stuff at bargain prices, lots of people take stuff for a test drive and then unload it cheap. If you're selling - post lots of detailed photos and be very honest about the condition. Chris Geoff CB and kaylee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrellcraig Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Been buying & selling on FM since 2005... I pretty much only buy and sell there, there's just too much noise and too little signal on Craigslist and eBay. I ALWAYS regret it when I bother listing photo/video stuff on Craigslist or eBay. Stuff on FM moves quickly if you price it well... you just might get a bit more somewhere else, but in the long run it isn't worth it if you buy and sell much. I usually price about 10% below what the market value seems like because my time is worth more than a few bucks. I pretty much only trade with established members with impeccable ratings and as Trek of Joy says, as a seller show lots of pictures and be clear and honest about the state of equipment and you'll maintain a good reputation there and have smooth transactions. kaylee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Miranda has a great reputation but I think you need to pay a small fee to be able to post on there. kaylee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrellcraig Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I would add that photo stuff moves fast on FM, not a lot of video traffic there though. kaylee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSMW Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I find that ebay generally works quite well for me. I ignore virtually all questions as the folks that ask all the questions rarely purchase. I also just set a buy it now price as I've burned myself on auctions with stuff going for a ridiculously low price. Just make sure you set your restrictions which for me is anyone not in the UK or EU. Generally, if it's a fairly mainstream item, it should sell quite quickly, - I find it's the stuff I found tricky to find to purchase that doesn't sell so well. As an example, I bought a Ninja V but it didn't work out for me and as I was outside the 30 day return period, I stuck it on ebay with a BIN price very close to purchase and it sold within 24 hours. Which always makes me wish I'd asked a bit more, but there you go! kaylee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the 24-70mm f/4 and had the same experience with it... just too slow when you need a few more stops of light. But then when I go back and look at some of my footage, some of my favorite shots were with that lens... but I also suffer from sentimentality. I was mostly looking at the Sigma because it is crazy sharp and for image stabilization... but so is my Canon 35mm f/2 and my feet work pretty good in place of a zoom... so IDK... lol. 7 hours ago, kaylee said: no way!!! ? its too useful to have... i mean hopefully im not ever gonna sell that camera! ?? its already become too sentimental to me... ? i could never do it! if im ever that desperate for $1k ill just sell some blood or something Glad to hear it, there aren’t many of us left. Lol. I’ve owned about 3 4K cameras, all with IBIS, since I bought my 5D3 and the 5D3 is the only camera I still own... 3 hours ago, kaylee said: BUT WAIT!!!! HELP GUYS!!!

So if the buyer is a no pay, or a scam artist, then you have to open a case to get your fee returned. Good luck! kaylee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
