Obtaining Fair Market Value

[Canon]

I no longer shoot any film and would like to sell what I have left in film camers/lenses. It seems that most buyers around me want to buy film cameras/lenses a paperweight prices.

What is my best way to obtain a fair price for my equipment?

I would suggest Ebay and put a starting price around what you would like to get for the item - you will probably get the best prices if you sell each item separately (i.e. body separately from lenses, don't expect to get much money for the flashlights). You should take some very good pictures of the items and clearly describe the condition.

Madd10,

Thanks for your response.

I've never done business on Ebay. but I guess that I will have to check that out.

Thanks Again
