Selling gear, pricing advice

[OurManInTangier]

Hi,

I've got a mountain of old gear that sits in various drawers getting no use whatsoever that I'm going to sell but I need to get a good idea of the current price to quality scaling. Does anyone know of any good sites that may help?

I know the best bet would be to keep an eye on ebay or similar but I'm hoping to get this lot shifted pretty quickly.

If anyone has a good idea on any of the items listed I'd appreciate any input.

Thanks

P.S. I wasn't really sure where to put this so Mods please move if appropriate, thanks

If you're in the UK, why not have a word with Chris or Rupert here:

They don't do digital, but would be able to give you an idea of the current market value of the other items. It's probably best to 'phone rather than email.

If you want to shift it quickly, for a good price, ebay is your best bet. You can check completed listings to get an idea of what your kit will make. Just describe it accurately, especially things like the condition of lens optics, and take some good photos.

It can be a good idea to start listings at 99p with no reserve. This generates a lot of interest, rather than pitching somewhere near the maximum price and hoping for 1 bid.

Alternatives to ebay......you could try Ffordes, who will charge you 20% to sell on commission. You will need to agree selling prices with them.
