I have a photo printer but would like to have larger (24X36 max) prints. Would anyone have any companies that they would recommend?


bestcanvas.com is very good. I have used them a few times for canvas and acrylic. The only time I had a problem with color, they reprinted and told me to keep the first one. Yes….they do very large prints.

So far this season I have seen only two or three hummingbirds. Suspect they were just passing through.

I'm wondering if others have similar experience.

Luckily I have unprocessed images left over from last season.


More than usual here including one I’ve never seen before …….the black chinned hummingbird.

I like them and I hope the antelope was harvested for other reasons.

Well both places to get gas had the same price... just glad I didn't need any fuel, and could return to Kalispell on the same tank.


About $1.60 a litre here X3.78 to get your gallon.

Tell George Washington that you're annoyed you have to wait over a week to get a package delivered from China, and he'd have you committed. 😋

We've become spoiled. I get annoyed waiting till the afternoon to receive an overnight delivery. I've had to wait several days just for something to clear customs.

Let us know when it arrives.


I’m not annoyed. I have bought a few things from China. It just takes longer for it to clear customs in Canada than all other processes combined.

I stopped buying from China years ago. If you have any problems good luck getting it resolved. If it's not thru Ebay your on your own. I've rarely heard them paying for return postage even if the item is defective. Sometimes they don't even respond to emails. Just my experience.


I’ve had good luck so far. One item was replaced and I never had to return the the original. It wasn’t thru eBay…..Amazon.

I know…I know. I shouldn’t. But………
They are a lot more efficient there than on my end. Item left China within 2 days. Arrived in Canada a little over three days ago and hasn’t moved since. It’s about three hours from me just sitting there.

I believe you mean "Nikonians"... as in https://www.nikonians.org/

There have been a number of good suggestions I agree with:

KEH.com, MPB.com, B&H Photo Used Dept., Adorama Used Dept., UsedPhotoPro.com (Robert's Photo) and some other reliable retailers buy used gear to stock their shelves. While it will vary a bit from one to the next, in general they will pay you a fair, used WHOLESALE price for your gear. It's probably the easiest way and lowest risk way to sell your gear, but will get you the least $ out of them.

Selling via an on eBay (and similar) can produce a better $ return, but there's no guarantee and there's some risk with shipping, dishonest buyers and some $ end up going to auction fees, shipping, insurance.

Selling on a forum like UHH or Nikonians also can produce better $ return than wholesale and typically has a lot less risk than auction sales. You can check a member's history... how long they have been a member, if they have had other transactions, etc. There still will be cost of shipping and insurance, but you can negotiate that if you wish.

Selling locally via Craigslist and similar is also possible and can make for better $ return than wholesale, but you do need to be careful. Meet the buyer in a bank lobby, inside a coffee shop, or similar... for your own safety. Be prepared for some haggling over price. People love to play games. For example....

I sold a motorcycle via Craigslist. We had agreed on a price over the phone and when I counted the money the buyer handed me, it was $20 short. He said, "Whoops, I thought I counted that right. It's all I have." Yeah, right. And neither of the two friends who came with you have $20 they could loan you either, right? I knew it was all BS, but do I kill the deal over $20 or accept a little less than we had agreed? Obviously $20 wasn't all that much and letting the deal go through made him feel like he'd "won".

I would have said, sorry, come back when you have the xtra 20.

Wow Thomas, who peed in your corn flakes this morning. This IMO constitutes a totally uncalled for response to a simple question

higgs I would suggest you start here

Members Buy/Sell/Trade -- Classifieds
https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/s-6-1.html

That said please review the Admin's Rules on this forum carefully first.
Also I would invest some quality time reviewing other UHH members posts in the forum.

If you don't feel like investing time coming up the curve selling here on UHH then I would suggest
KEH; mpb; B&H; Roberts; UsedPhotoPro; (btw, Google is your friend here)

eBay is another option albeit it also requires that you invest time/effort to get your head around how that marketplace works.

My question to you is Why are you asking here on UHH since you joined in Sept 2019 and have less than a half dozen post?

Maybe Craig's List in your Locale is what you should try in my humble estimation since seem to lack any serious commitment to UHH and it's members. UHH is a family of Photographers where synergy with other members is an important attribute (hope this makes sense)

All the best on your Sales/Marketing venture higgs.
