Trying to sell my samsung gear

The reality is that if you're looking to sell in a relatively short time (or as immediately as possible), then dropping the price to an enticing "buy now" level will do the trick.

Look, nobody can attest to the fact that electronics severely lose value, than I have.  Since 1998, I've owned or extensively used over 150 different digital cameras - with my having sold many of them (keeping those that I believe are "keepers").  I've had to sacrifice many a price in order to get the gear to sell.  We tend to value our gear at a certain level, yet to the rest of the world that value is greatly diminished - bummer, I know.

So the key to selling your gear is "saturation bombing," or as I affectionately like to dub it (being a retired US Marine).  That means posting your gear on as many "for sale" forums as possible.  Believe it or not, the DPReview for sale forum is not one of the best - although I have sold an item or two in the past.  And add to the fact that you cannot revisit your posting - in particular, after a period of time has passed - to edit, makes it all the more hopeless.

I tend post mine on the following sites:

1.  DPReview

2.  Craigslist (believe it or not, I've sold 50% of my gear on Craigs at or near asking price as long as you have the patience).

3.  eBay - at a "Buy it Now" arrangement - not bidding.

There are a variety of other For sale Sites such as FM forums (although you have to pay an annual fee to sell there).  So the more places you have exposure, the better of law of averages work in your favor.  I typically post my gear in 5-6 sites.

Now as to the patience part.  If you want to get what you feel is right for you, then you may have to wait - perhaps a few months.  If you can do that, then good!  Just periodically update the posting and if need be, gradually drop the box as time goes on.

If you need to move the gear - perhaps, so you can purchase something else - then you have to weigh what the gear will really sell quickly for.  I know it's painful.

As for me personally, I will NOT sell my Samsung gear.  I just admire them so much (in my case the NX20, NX300, and NX500 - along with an EX2F).  Whenever I review IQ levels of those cameras from images taken in the past, I'm just gratified to know I still maintain them.  You may very well regret selling your Samsung gear in the near future - and then it's too late.  Think about it...
