Biting the Bullet
Mar 27, 2015 08:17:41 #
Following years of trip after trip lugging 30-35 lbs of cameras, lenses and other assorted necessities up the mountains of Peru, the Pyramids of Egypt or the jungles of Guatemala, I've decided to bite the bullet and make the switch from full-frame DSLR to full-frame mirrorless. (Figure if I wrote it, it must be happening) Question is: What's the best means to liquidate my Canon 6D, battery grip, L lenses, etc. etc. etc. Any suggestions?

Before you dump your "friends," you might want to figure exactly how weight you will actually be saving.
As for the "best" way, that depends (doesn't everything?). I've always sold things on ebay. I take a lot of good pictures of the item, write a detailed description, have a beginning price of $0.99, and start the entry at 6:00 PM Thursday night and run it for ten days, or I'll start it at the same time on Sunday night and run it for a week. I box it and weigh it and figure the Priority Mail cost from NY to CA, so I can post shipping charges. I know that it will be gone in a week.
If you sell it to one of the big camera buyers, it will take a while to get a price from them, and their price will include a profit margin.
Go to ebay, look up your item, and go down the left column and click on "Sold." You will see what people have actually paid for the item.

Sounds like a lot of hassle just to save a half pound of weight.
