Hey all,
Was trying to find the easiest/best avenue for selling my used camera lenses and gear. Would Amazon be OK for this? I've sold quite a bit of stuff on Amazon just not much along the lines of camera stuff. I know Ebay is pretty good and have also heard of using Fredmiranda (for a fee too) but wanted to avoid all the hassles with creating listings and paying fees up-front. I like Amazon in that it's just super-easy to post stuff up. I did have to deal with a return one time (some lady bought my Palm Pixi and returned it cause she changed her mind and didn't realize it wasn't a dumb phone.... that was super frustrating). I've also heard horror stories, especially on Amazon, how when something goes wrong it's almost always on the seller. And even in cases of dishonest buyers committing fraud (switching out phones or shipping an empty box back, etc), Amazon takes the side of the buyer. I'm sure the same kinds of things happen on Ebay but there are more 'safeguards' in place to prevent that kind of stuff from happening to begin with.
Anyway, just wondering if any of you photographers have had good experiences selling camera gear. I'm trying to sell my Nikon D200 and a handful of lenses and stuff. Will probably get rid of my Panasonic GX1 and some lenses too. Now that I just mentioned all the gear I have, I might even get a few facepunches!!! Bahahahaha
