Selling Your Used Gear Through BIRDS AS ART<\/h3>\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. You can see all current listings by clicking here<\/a> or by clicking on the Used Photo Gear tab on the yellow-orange tab on the right side of the menu bar above. <\/p>\n Things have been heating up on the Used Gear page lately. <\/p>\n Sale pending in less than 10 hours!<\/strong><\/font> <\/p>\n Mike Quigley is offering his used Canon 500mm f\/4L IS lens in excellent condition for $3999; the glass is in pristine condition.

I used an owned one for more than a decade. I just purchased the lighter-still Canon 500mm f\/4L IS II last week; it sells for $8999 at B&H.

In addition, it would make a great prime super-telephoto lens for folks with a 7D II. Gannets in Love was created with the 400 DO. You can see that one and 13 other killer images that I made with my old 400 DO here<\/a>. The title of that blog post is “The Canon 400mm f\/4 IS DO Lens: Fourteen Images that Prove that the Internet Experts are Idiots.” Stephen’s lens is priced to sell.<\/em> artie <\/p>\n Good friend and IPT veteran George Golumbeski is offering a used Canon 200-400mm f\/4L IS zoom lens with Internal 1.4X Extender in excellent plus to near-mint condition with several extras, for $9450.00.
