    Decided to sell some of my gear. Studio lights, collapsible backgrounds, reflectors, light meter, etc etc.
    Local collection is best....sorry. Some of the items are bulky and expensive.
    Probably not of much interest to you guys and gals, hence on other sites too.
    Canon 24-105 image stabiliser L series may be of interest on here ... mint....£400.
    24 hrs notice needed so I can get items of interest from the lock up across town.
    Cheers.

    I'm looking out for a tripod NG but postage if you have one would cost a fortune sadly!

    I have an xprob with a 322rc2 head, but yes, awkward to post and not sure if I should sell or not.
    I was going to, but need to keep some essentials.

    Not to worry, the price of the postage would be high because of the weight, I'll keep my eyes peeled locally for one. :)

    I have put some items on ebay.
    One particular item has been selling via auction all day for around £100-£113
    I put my one on for £80 'buy it now', thinking it would sell immediately, yet no go.
    I really don't understand :sad:
    I also put an item on for half the price I had paid (light use) yet still no takers. Despite allowing the 'make an offer' function. I just find it odd. :scratch:

    E-bay is a funny thing:dunno: Have you put a deadline on the items? If so, you'll find people will watch right up to the end and then starting bidding on the sniping systems.:snork:

    7 day listings. I will come down a bit on one of the items, and maybe throw in some freebies, but nobody has even made an offer. That particular item is collect only, so that is limiting my buyers. I have offered to help by meeting outside of my county though.
    The items are reasonably priced in my opinion, so I won't let them go for peanuts.
    Even the second hand shop offered me only £50 less than I am looking for.

    edit: these are both non bid items.

    Early days then........as I said there's a good chance you'll get a frenzy of last minute/seconds bidding.:snork:

    Bids aren't allowed :snork:
    The only thing anyone can achieve after 7 days on one of the items, is to say 'look, you have had no offers, so I will give you 2 peanuts, instead of the 4 peanuts you are asking for'.
    My reply will be...... :nonofinger:

            Its been a long day :rolleyespink:. Royal mail wouldn't let me ship my package because it contained a battery :sad: .....a public risk apparently. I had to open it and repackage, but she wouldn't let me use a piece of her packing tape. I had to buy some off her :frown: ...£1.75!
            It was only an 8cm square parcel.
