selling of cam..

[yinky]

hi would like to ask if there is any other channels of selling off our cameras? like any shops tt take in 2nd hand cameras..
now i only know of cs. n it makes my upgrading very difficult due to difficulty of getting rid of the cam i'm having now haha.

[Rashkae]

Yeah, and there's the alphadslr forum too, and there are some second-hand shops in peninsula that might take it too.

And remember to look for those users posting "WTB" threads. They're usually the ones too lazy to search the WTS ads.

thanks again!

selling at the B&S forum is much better den shops usually cos shops will usually take in at 20-30% of ur price depending on condition den sell much higher so no point selling to them. U can also sell ur body n kits lens separately(sounds cheaper tt way) which is a tacit i observe will get u back gd returns for ur old cam from the B&S forum here

CS is one of the best place to sell...if you wanta try the 2rd hand shops.. they will quota u so low, u rather use them as paper weights.

Hi Candice,

so you've gotten your D80 already? The response from the bros here are true. The best place to sell your cam would be here in CS.

If you want to relase your cam faster, probably will have to let go at a lower price.

[derricksony]

[reaper3075]

try Cash Converter

[frederickykfoo]

Cash Converter price are even lower than 2nd hand shop.

Glad that you managed to sell your cam at a reasonable and acceptable price.
There are alot of people who will offer ridiculous prices. Just hold on to the item if you are not in a hurry to sell.

So you are not taking pictures anymore?

[yinky]

hi galdor, not taking pics for now.. as i sold off the a200. using fren's cam lo haha. upgrading.. maybe to a350? still considering. i dunwan to regret ltr haha

[kelvint81]

whats the reason of selling A200?
i using A200 for 2mths
no major issues or what ever.

[yinky]

there's nth wrong with the cam.. i love it

[Galdor]

But the A700 will be much heavier wor. Moreover, newer models keep coming out now and then, there's really no end to it. Frankly speaking most of the time a 6MP is more than enough for daily use, that's why i'm still using the old Minolta 5D.

[kelvint81]

It's a never ending chasing.
Buy new model use 1 year another new model comes.
Just use what you are happy with.
Use 2yrs or so then jump to a new model of 2 generations later.
