Stuff<\/h3>\n

I finished this blog post very early on the morning of Friday, May 11, 2018. It took about two hours to prepare. I was glad to learn that Charlie Curry’s Canon EOS 7D Mark II in near-mint condition sold for only $849 on the first day it was listed. <\/p>\n

Selling Your Used Photo Gear Through BIRDS AS ART<\/h3>\n

Selling your used (or like-new) photo gear through the BAA Blog 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 went out of business. And e-Bay fees are now up to 13%. The minimum item price here is $500 (or less for a $25 fee). If you are interested please scroll down here<\/a> or shoot us an 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 pricing advice to those who agree to the terms — usually sells in no time flat. Over the past year, we have sold many dozens of items. Do know that prices on some items like the EOS-1D Mark IV, the old Canon 100-400, the old 500mm, the EOS-7D and 7D Mark II and the original 400mm DO lens have been dropping steadily. You can always see the current listings by clicking on the Used Photo Gear tab on the orange-yellow menu bar near the top of each blog post page. <\/p>\n

Canon EF 600mm f\/4L IS II USM Lens<\/strong><\/h2>\n

BAA Record-Low, Shock-the-world Price Reduced $395!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Greg Morris is offering a barely used EF 600mm f\/4L IS II USM lens in mint to like-new condition with extras for the BAA record low price of $8,999.00 (was $9394.00). The sale includes the LensCoat that has protected this lens since day one, a RRS stuff foot (installed), the original foot, the lens trunk, the original box and everything that came in it: front cover, rear cap, manuals, & the rest, and insured ground shipping via major courier to US addresses only. Your item will not ship until your personal of certified check clears unless other arrangements are made.<\/p>\n

Please contact Greg via e-mail<\/a><\/center> or by phone at 1-580-678-5929 (Central time).<\/p>\n

WMD: Weapon of Mass Destruction!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

The 600 II is the<\/em><\/strong> state of the art super-telephoto for birds, nature, wildlife, and sports. When I could get it to my location, it was my go-to weapon. It is fast and sharp and deadly alone or with either TC. With a new one going for $11,499, you can save a cool $2,500.00 by grabbing Greg’s might-as-well-be-new lens right now. <\/em> artie<\/p>\n
