The Complete Guide To Buying Used Photographic Equipment in S'Pore OUT NOW!

[solarii]

Hi everyone! As promised THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO BUYING USED PHOTOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT IN SINGAPORE has been completed and is now ready for distribution.

This first of its kind guide is written for photography enthusiasts who've heard about the great deals available on the resale market, but are apprehensive about making purchases as they do not know what to look out for and are afraid of being short-changed. This guide is for you!

Topics covered include:
Where Do I Go? - Places to shop for used Equipment
How To Spot Problematic Equipment – Common problems and how to identify them
Tips for Negotiating/Buying – Solid advice to heed when making the transaction.
How much should I pay – Evaluating Used Equipment
Stolen Goods – Protecting Your Rights
Mass Orders: Spotting Good Deals as well as potential scams.

The guide is written in plain, easy to understand English and contains all the necessary information you need to know to make an informed choice. Photos are kept to a minimum to keep file sizes small and facilitate distribution via email.

Where relevant, I've also included information on the common misconceptions that are circulating around regarding warranties and other issues you should be aware of.

How do I buy one?

The guide is on sale now for a low price of S$5.00. It's a very reasonable price considering the amount of information provided and the money you can save by making better informed choices. Payment can be made to the following account 048-37561-8 (POSB Savings

After payment is made, PM, SMS (nine-seven-99 174 zero) or email (cyc.guides@gmail.com) me your email address and I will send you the guide after I confirm payment (within 12 hrs). You will receive two files, the guide in .pdf format, as well as a purchase agreement template in MS Word format. The purchase agreement protects your rights as a consumer when you make purchases, and I'll explain how you can use it in the guide.

The file size is under 2 MB so most email accounts should have no trouble receiving the package. Should you encounter any difficulties or have any queries, feel free to contact me at cyc.guides@gmail.com. I will do my best to ensure you receive your copy of the guide.

Why isn't it free?

The guide is part of a consumer education project I've started to help new photographers. Your $5.00 contribution will go towards covering transport costs (research), coffee (all the late nights), as well as all the treats I owe the people I've consulted for their help in writing this! If you're reading this, thanks guys!

I started this as a week end project after realizing there's nothing available that advises new photographers about the ins and outs of buying used photographic equipment. I hope to share the knowledge and experience of myself and other enthusiasts with other fellow photographers, so that they too will be able to shop with confidence in places such as the Buy and Sell forum in Clubsnap, and get more value for their hard earned cash. Personally, I would have liked it very much had there been something like this when I first started out. Would have saved me both money and time.

So I hope fellow photographers will lend their support to niche projects such as this!
