The Streak<\/h3>\n
Today marks forty-one days in a row with a new educational blog post. This one took about two and one-half hours to prepare. With all of my upcoming free time, the plan right now is to break the current record streak of (I think) four hundred eighty something … Good health and good internet connections willing. <\/p>\n
Everybody’s Doing It…<\/h3>\n
Everybody’s buying and selling used gear on the BAA Used Gear Page. Sales recently have been through the roof. 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 charged a minimum of 20%. Plus assorted fees! Yikes. They recently folded. And eBay fees are now in the 13% range. 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. Even the prices on the new 600 II and the 200-400 with Internal Extender have been plummeting. You can see all current listings by clicking here<\/a> or by clicking on the Used Photo Gear tab on the right side of the yellow-orange menu bar at the top of each blog post. <\/p>\n I have a buyer for a 7D Mark II and an old 100-400. If you would like to sell one or both of those items, please contact me via e-mail<\/a>. <\/p>\n Ray Stranagan is offering a used Canon EF 300mm f\/2.8L IS II USM Lens in excellent condition for the very low and very fair price of $3999. The sale includes the lens Hood, the lens strap, the lens trunk, the front tough fabric cover, the rear lens cap, and insured ground shipping via major courier to US addresses only. Your item will not ship until your check clears unless other arrangements are made. <\/p>\n Please contact Ray via e-mail<\/a> or by phone at 1-607 353 5080 (Eastern time). <\/p>\n The 300mm f\/2.8 autofocus lenses have long been the first choice of the world\u2019s best hawks-in-flight photographers with and without a 1.4X TC. When teamed up with either the 1.4X or 2X TC, it makes a great hand holdable walk-around lens. Grabbing Rays’ lens will save you an incredible $2,100 as new ones are going for $6099 from B&H. I owned and used several versions of the 300 f\/2.8 lens for many years until finally replacing my 300 f\/2.8 II with the 400 DO II about a year ago. That said, the 300 f\/2.8 II represents a great value as the 400 DO II sells new for 6,899.00.<\/em> artie<\/p>\n Les Greenberg is offering a used Canon EF 70-200mm f\/2.8L IS II USM zoom lens in mint condition for a very low $1599.
