I'm going to sell (post in RFF here) some of my canon lens, they are all not perfect, bargain conditions. I would like to sell them fast and finance my fuji x-100 (a bit earlier though).

Below the conditions and if you can advise please let me know what price should I list:

1. Canon 28/2.8, with fair cosmetic conditions, little dust inside and a tiny spot near edge of the front glass.

2. Canon 50/1.4, with on damaged internal element, fair cosmetic conditions. though one element damaged, it still takes photo and with good result IMO, I just don't know why.

3. Canon 50/1.8 black version, very good glass and cosmetic conditions.

4. Canon 100/3.5 chrome, glass in very good conditions, only a little not so smooth in the aperture ring, otherwise it's a beautiful lens.

5. Industar-69, you know it, just a cheap lens.

Just feel free to advise if you like, I just want to let them go at a not too low price.

(p.s. I still keep my canon 35/1.5, 35/2 and 50/1.5)
 
$200 each for the Canon lenses, $20 for the I-69. But it all depends on condition. You mention some damage. The degree of damage is most important in determining price.
 
hi Frank, thanks !
there is crack on the surface of one of the internal element. I thought it should be critical (can't take photos), but it takes instead and I can't notice the abnormal from the photo (but it should have, just I am not able to notice).
 
hi !
already posted my classified over few days (which should be the golden time for selling), no one take any of my canon lens. it should be the price set too high or some other reasons.
anyone can help?
i really want all of them go to finance another camera.
 
i think you should lower the price, to make it more attractive for those who do not mind the defect stated in your ad for the lens. Hope it helps🙂
 
The trouble is that the 50/1.4 is not a rare lens, so buyers will prefer a mint/not damaged version. My copy is almost perfect, but it costed a bit more than 200$, I believe.
And shipping from China adds costs (S&H, customs).
