The BIRDS AS ART Blog and You <\/h3>\n
To show your appreciation for my efforts here, we do ask that you use our the B&H and Amazon affiliate links on the right side of the blog for all of your purchases. Doing so won’t cost you a penny and is the best way to thank me for the 15-20 hours I put in to bring you fresh and free educational material most every day. Please check the availability of all photographic accessories in the BIRDS AS ART Online Store<\/a>. We sell only what I use and depend on. We will not sell you junk. We know what you need to make creating great images easy and fun. And we are always glad to answer your gear questions via e-mail<\/a><\/center> (unless I am traveling without internet!)<\/p>\n You can find the following items in the store: Mongoose M3.6<\/a> and Wimberley<\/a> heads, plates, low feet, and accessories<\/a>, flash brackets<\/a>, <\/a>, Delkin e-film Pro Compact Flash Cards<\/a>, LensCoat<\/a> products, and our unique line-up of educational materials<\/a> including ABP I & II<\/a>, Digital Basics<\/a>, Site and Set-up e-Guides<\/a>, Canon and Nikon Camera Users and AF e-Guides<\/a>, and MP-4 Photoshop video tutorials<\/a> among others.<\/p>\n And we still have a few Gitzo tripods<\/a> in stock. I imagine that we will be phasing those out soon…. <\/p>\n I would of course appreciate your using our B&H affiliate links for all of your major gear, video, and electronic purchases. For the photographic stuff mentioned in the paragraph above we, meaning BAA,<\/strong><\/font> would of course greatly appreciate your business. Here is a huge thank you to the many who have been using our links on a regular basis and visiting the BAA Online<\/a> store as well. <\/p>\n Selling your used (or like-new) photo gear through the BAA Blog or via a BAA Online Bulletin is a great idea. We charge only a 5% commission. One of the more popular used gear for sale sites charges a minimum of 20%. Plus assorted fees! Yikes. The minimum item price here is $500 (or less for a $25 fee). If you are interested please e-mail<\/a><\/center> with the words Items for Sale Info Request cut and pasted into the Subject line :). Stuff that is priced fairly–I offer free pricing advice, usually sells in no time flat. In the past few months, we have sold just about everything in sight. Do know that prices on some items like the EOS-1D Mark IV, the old Canon 500mm, the EOS-7D, and the original 400mm IS DO lens have been dropping steadily. <\/p>\n You can see the complete listings by clicking here<\/a> or always by clicking on the Used Photo Gear tab on the right end of the navigation bar at the top of each blog post page. <\/p>\n After a lull in September, things have really heated up lately: <\/p>\n IPT veteran Larry Master sold his 300mm f\/2.8L IS II lens for $4750 on October 22, 2015. You can find the complete listings here<\/a>. <\/p>\n Kenton Rowe is offering a used Canon 200-400mm with Internal 1.4X Extender in Very Good condition for $9,799. The sale includes the Canon PL-C 52mm drop-in Circular Polarizing filter (a $240 value), the Canon E-145C Lens Cap (actually a lens hood made of tough synthetic fabric, the rear lens cap, the ET-120 Lens Hood, the lens trunk, and insured shipping via UPS Ground. Your item will not ship until your check clears unless other arrangements are made. <\/p>\n Please contact Kenton via e-mail<\/a><\/center> or by phone at 406.465.6707 (Mountain time). <\/p>\n The 200-400 is a killer lens when you are working with tame birds or large mammals; can you say the Galapagos and Africa, the Southern Ocean Florida? <\/em> artie<\/p>\nSelling Your Used Photo Gear Through BIRDS AS ART<\/h3>\n
