Adorama contacted me via email about purchasing used equipment. I was willing to sell then a Hasselblad H3D II 39mp kit. I had purchased the body, prizim, and back from them a couple of years ago for $3495 . I had added a 80mm lens, Imagebank, extra batteries, AC power adapter and a zero halibuton case. i have shot less than 500 images with this camera since purchase. There offer was a $1000 for the whole enchilada. The lens alone is going for 800-1100 on ebay. I understand they have to make a profit but this is kind of excessive, other photogs at UH I'm sure have used them, are yall ok with taking this kind of beating and is this standard procedure from the used equipment buyers?

The additional information you provided in this post changes the picture a bit. All things being equal, I'm guessing you would have expected something closer to between $1500 to $1750 or even $2000. Have you looked at other dealers? There is B&H of course, KEH, and here in New Jersey we have our own smaller camera superstore called Unique Photo.

I sold two Canon cameras and lenses to them not too long ago and got almost $1500 for that gear. It was much more than I had expected for an 8-year-old Canon 7D Mark II and a 10-year-old Canon t3i.(with over 70,000 actuations each) and around eight lenses, with only one of them a Canon premium L lens. Most of the lenses had been well used and I got my value from them over the years. I was expecting an offer of less than $1,000 for all this well used gear which was still in very good condition. i was very pleased when they offered me more than $500 more than I had anticipated.

Of course, being in New Jersey I was able to bring everything with me to Unique and have it inspected in person, and they gave me a price and a check immediately.

Two quick thoughts: First, It might be relevant what condition Adorama had listed the for the equipment when you bought it from them. If listed a couple years ago as “Bargain” or “Excellent+” might matter. Secondly, I agree with suggestions to ask for indicative offers from other reputable Used Camera dealers, and would add Roberts Camera/Used Photo Pro to that list.
Good luck. I think the economic uncertainty might be depressing customers’ enthusiasm at the moment for discretionary spending. So, cast a wide net.
