What have you just SOLD?

Sold my GF1 with 14-45 zoom and EVF.
Still selling my original Pany GF1 case and soon to list my Lumix 20mm f1.7
(I am so gonna regret selling the 20 1.7. If it's not sold before the new G3 comes out I fear the temptation might be too great.)
Proceeds going toward a Nikon d7000 and a couple of lenses which I just purchased.
 
Over the last little while I have sold:

Mamiya 7 w/ 80mm, Rolleiflex T, Pentax k200D w/ 18-55, a 50mm Super Tak, and a Pentax 35mm 2.8 limited. Still thinking about selling more off.
 
Not sold yet, but my Klasse is on eBay right now. Great camera, but I've got enough 35mm compacts, and also I'm just not finding use for it. I imagined using it in dark bars/clubs, where it's flash and autofocus would be ideal, but I'm just not finding myself in those places these days.
 
"Sold" my Retina 2 via ebay, but the user reported that "shutter not work" so I sent detailed instructions with a photo of the lever used to cock it/release it etc. I asked that they tell me what part of the cocking and firing sequence didn't work.
The buyer replied "shutter not work refund please".

The camera is now back with me. It is fine, only a sticky release button (as advised to buyer). I can only imagine that they tried to wind on then fire the shutter. A language problem didn't help. I wonder why they bought it?

I can relate to this. I just sold my M42 setup to a buyer in China. Turns out the shipping was going to be $6 more than I originally quoted. The buyer flipped out and became incredibly rude and started telling me that he would be verifying the weight of my package after he received it and that he would be reporting me to ebay and paypal if my weight was off. I didn't even want to deal with the guy. I refunded his money and now have negative feedback from the arsehole. God, I hate ebay.

Ah yes, unreasonable buyers! Bad luck. I got "marked down" on shipping costs, I only ever charge at cost, and sometimes get this wrong and charge under. You can't please some people.........
 
Had a big sale recently to finance the second hand 50/1.4 ASPH I just bought.

50/2.0 summicron
50/2.8 elmar
50/1.2 canon LTM
50/1.4 canon LTM
35/1.7 Ultron
35/1.2 Nokton
28/2.8 Hexanon

and soon my old trusted Nokton 50/1.5 will be let go as well.

I think I now have the only 4 lenses I need:

21/2.8 pre ASPH
35/2.0 ASPH
50/1.4 ASPH
90/2.8

I am just a lucky b@st@rd even though I worked hard and saved every penny to come to this lens stable over a period of 15 years or so.

I managed to sell off a few bits and pieces at the local bi-annual camera market. One of my Pentax LX's was the most significant. It was a bit of a luxury to have two LX bodies, and the cash has been converted into a GSW690 - a format I haven't explored yet.

Within the last 3 months, I've sold 2 Yashicas T4, an Olympus Stylus, a Minolta Dynax 5, a Yashica MG-1, one Yashica T3, a Fed-4, a minolta mount Sigma 24 f/2.8 AF and a Nikon L35AF. After finishing the test roll on another Yashica T3, I will probably sell that too.
Yes, I've been quite busy lately...
 
I currently have a Bronica waist level finder and Metz flash adapter that will sell on a famous auction site, but I'm also trying to get rid of my SQ-Ai, a light meter and a cable release. Many views, some watchers, no bids!
 
D300 with original box
Nikkor 12-24/4 lens with original box
Manfrotto tripod head with original box

Sold it on Friday... KEH was in town.
 
Fuji X100 - great image quality, superb high iso, but bad autofocus, bad manual focus, bad battery, unnecessary retro styling and knobs and dials that change the settings by just looking at it....
