I have 2 CL's and 3 lenses also. (CL 40 and 90, 50 Hexanon) Maybe we both need another CL?

I'm thinking of selling the more User CL to fund a Luigi case purchase. Can't have a naked CL lying around...
 
Maybe we can start up something: The Official RFF Trading Co. No one needs to sell their equipment...we can just trade it all amongst ourselves. No more GAS! 😀
 
This thread is like a double-edged knife; you need to buy and to sell to make it work. I was just trying to avoid having my "sales list" being moved to the classified by a moderator. Maybe it ends up as a gigantic swap session (please keep it clean).

I actually think that one of the things that makes this place great is that there IS an active trade market going on here. We don't just buy and sell...we trade things amongst the group. I think that the Ansco I have has gone through at least two different people (that I know about, anyway) and that makes me more interested in trading it to someone else here than selling it.

Most of us here tend to sell stuff in order to get more stuff...I'm guessing there will be no lack of buyers. I, myself, will be looking for a 100mm Canon lens one of these days...as soon as I can stand parting with my PSP, probably.

C'mon, Steph, you can do it!

You can always buy a Nintendo Wii if you get too big a gaming jones. 😉

For me, the selling month was/is august...

Sold:
bodies-M4-p, IIIf, IIIb, Zorki6, M6, MP, Kiev88CM, R6
lenses-LTM 90/4, 135.4.5, J-8, 5 Lenses for the Kiev, 3 lenses for the R6

all this and some misc. items, some of this was user gear, some was deals I got and turned around.

What am i left with?
a damn nice setup with only a few redundancies. I feel soooo much better!😱

and may have made enough for an M8. 😱 OH, somebody stop me!

I still love to have an ebay auction going but really I just wanna go somewhere interesting and shoot some people in afternoon light.

Cheers, Mike

Some of you may recall last March being my designated month of celebacy (i.e. no buying of camera equipment). I was amazed at the positive feedback and the many "followers" who actually tried n ot to buy more equipment in one month.

My thought now is to designate September for selling off a few camera items. Needless to say that some people here have to be buyers or else there will be no sales.

I will in the coming days screen what I have to see what can be sold off here. If things don't sell here, we have to go to evil-bay.

What come to my mind is these items:

1. Olympus XA.
2. Canon 85mm/1.9 with all shiny metal adapters and hood.
3. Canon 135mm/3.5 with leather case and Canon finder.
4. Konica S2


This will do for my first comittment.


What do you have to sell in September?

I'll also have tax money, too, and regardless of my financial woes I always reserve that for spending on something I like. In fact, I may sell the stuff and keep the money from it until March/April of next year...and then get the Bessa R2M. I've wanted one since they were announced...I just wish I could get the set with the Heliar, but that isn't in the cards since there won't be any left by that time. =P

But anyway, I'm going to keep it until I stop working at the game store. I love video games and adore my PSP because it's becoming more of a PDA than a game system, but it isn't something I really need. And camera equipment doesn't lose its value as fast either.
 
I may also have to sell a clean Summaron 35mm/3.5 and a Contarex 180mm lens. The listkeeps on growing. By the time we hit September, who knows what will happen!

Frank gave me the idea to sell my beautiful Summicron 40mm lens. If he won't keep his, I won't keep mine.

What is this [RFF] world coming toif we all sell our stuff?

Stephanie,
I am torn between a Bessa R2M and a Leica M6. The Bessa will go down in value faster than the Leica. Plus, it never will be a classic.
