What is the best site to sell Olympus gear now?

[Hawaii-geek]

Just curious, what is the best site, or sites to sell Olympus gear now?

well, all I can say is ... someone is going to get some great deal's for Chrismas ....

Yes, I went "waaay" over budget on my FF gear ... don't ask.
and have to sell my Oly gear

anyway, I will be buying m43, I am sure, before too long.
there is no way I can go back to P&S on my walk around ...

fourthirdsphoto.com then click on forum buy and sell. I have found this to be a good site and it seems to move Oly gear rather quickly. I wish I had extra money right now but on L&I and doctors are saying I might want to find a new profession. Hey maybe I can become a photographer, on second thought probably not LOL.

Darrell,

Thank you, for your input on this ...
That is what I love about these forums ... input from many souces.

You can learn things, you would have never have discovered on your own

Yep, things are bad out there ... it's really getting competative.

PRO Photographer LOL. it's almost like saying you want to be a Painter or Artist , Starving Artist.

I was in a meeting this month .. and a "LONG Time" PRO photographer for "Surfer Magazine" was talking.
and he just stopped short of saying, Print was dead.
Sensed the worry in his voice.

Shaun,

Well, ....

Let's start with, all new ... two D700's, three sb900s, 24-70 f2.8 , just got my 70-200 f2.8 VR II the other day ... everything with Drop insurance, and backed up with Biz insurance (theft).

And of course it does not stop there ... * Just the Grip + D3 battery + charger (which the D3 battery while awesome, does not use the same charger as the D700 ... fyi: the D700 grip is better with the D3 battery ... you can do all day with it, literaly .. no extra batt required) ... AND, the battery needs a "special" Holder for the grip! ... Just this "grip and battery" set up ... cost more than some Olympus bodys. Seriously.

Now imagine carrying all of this , on you ... so, then I had to get a Black rapid double strap sling. and then I could not resist the Hoodman 3" , because I am shooting "even more" at the beach now.
Then, I could not fit all of this in my old bag!

.... you get the picture.
p.s. to even apply for NPS you must have 3 nikon lens, 2 PRO bodys ...

and now, I cannot even use this set up "everyday/personal" , and need a m43 as my walk around LOL

imho, the more popular FF gets ... the more IMPORTANT m43 will be.
Now, I totally "get it" why m43 is sooo HOT.

and if someone tells you ... Oh, FF prices are really close to 4/3 ... No, not really ... not when you start adding all of it up.

And the weight, there is a differance ... a real differance. I don't care what it is "on paper".
All the little extra's add up.

eBay accountability

Yes, good for buyers (more confidence).
and good for Honest Sellers ... it helps them too.

Thank you, ALL for the Help finding a great place for me to sell my gear.

• YOU guys and gals are the BEST!!! always have been.

Not only did you help me find a great place to post my gear ... but, by the time I finished posting them all ... it was ALL sold (well, except for the two cheapest items)
AND, I got a lot of emails too ... some funny, ALL supportive.

Now, some might find this hard to believe ... but, there was not a single Olympus user that said , "Just leave" please

back to selling gear:
Honestly, I was a little sceptical that anyplace would be better than ebay.

Thank you Bill for letting me know about this. I would never have found this on my own.

And I needed the money ( did over spend on my FF gear )
... so, speed was helpful lol

THANK YOU ALL ! ... it was a help to me, really ... and I am glad some found some good deals too. win-win.

Merry Christmas to ALL, on the Olympus Forum !
AND I will see you on the m43 fourm ... soon, I hope

some of you (a lot) I already see on the Nikon forum , and you know who you are lol)
