Couple of questions...

I'd still have to sell some gear, and then try sell that lens on top. The used market over here seems to have hit a stand still, I have a lens up with 5 watching for the past few weeks and nobody making a move. Was a time I could stick a lens up on there and it would be gone within 2-3 days. If I did end up going Sony I'd probably stretch to the mkII and a nice prime. But cheers for the head's up
Haha can you go knock on thier door and get them to look at my item

Your stuff is in there somewhere...
@nandbytes given the position of the building, your stuff will have rolled to the right hand side!!! or its delivered to the left hand side, and the employees can't make the steep hill up from the entrance to review it

honestly not in the mood for jokes. Sorry but I am waiting on nearly £2K with no comms, they don't answer their phone, don't tell me where things are, no ETA and no money.
The last 4 lenses and camera body I sold had nothing but paltry bids on this website - sometimes I think selling to camera enthusiasts just makes things harder, as they state the "this guy sold his thing for £xxx less than you here, so sell it to me for below that price!" nonsense. I've gotten 20-30% higher sale prices by selling face to face on Gumtree - and it's nice meeting up with other camera enthusiasts. I much prefer it!
Case and point, sold my 55/1.8 FE for ~£620, which is ridiculous. Highest bid here was £470. I can't complain!
I've always had good quotes from them and have sold a number of lenses to them and a couple of cameras in the past. The longest I have waited in the past around a week to hear back, but just accepted at the time that that was how long it took. They've always given me the figure quoted based on the description given, except once when they actually paid me an extra £15. So personally I haven't been able to fault them.
You get low ball offers on local used sites too though. They use the ol' "I can get this for just a little more from China" BS, so you tell them fine, go buy it there then, next thing they come back with a slightly higher offer
I love meeting up with buyers or sellers too, always ends up being a good chit chat, either I learn something from them [I've sold to many pro photographers in the past] or they learn from me, often sold to complete beginners too. I have a good clean record on the site I use too over 60 odd sales, I've had repeat buyers too that came back for more because the gear was better than described.
Yeah, of course - but I find it easier to sell my stuff to people face to face, as my gear is normally in excellent nick. People normally lowball stating they've seen other lenses (normally in much worse nick) for cheaper. Not the same, imo!
But yeah, it's always good meeting buyers - in fact, i've had a few come back to me years later asking if I've got anything to sell!
Without doubt.no messing
