You are out of line here , no reason to rant like that . If you think an item as an issue , am sure a potential buyer would like to know . On the other hand if the issue is not there , the seller can correct that .

agillot, if you hit on "quote reply" (as I did to respond to you) we'll all know who you're responding to.

Selling on UHH is like selling to family or friends, something you might not want to do. I would prefer to sell something to a total stranger than a friend or relative.

Years ago, we sold my parents' car to my wife's boss. He kept complaining about it. He didn't complain to my parents, of course. He complained to us.

This is interesting. This article I just found was written by Stever Lehto, a lawyer on YouTube - "Lehto's Law." He discusses interesting topics.

I think the attraction is a "market" of people who might be interested in equipment at a fair price. Dealers won't give you what they sell the equipment for. You can advertise prices that are closer to what a dealer would. Also, I think that most people here are pretty honest about the condition of their equipment, shutter counts etc, and they provide multiple pictures to back up what they advertise. There is always some risk, and there is no stated return policy.

I have sold one thing on UHH, an expensive scanner. I got a fair price. I haven't heard anything negative from the buyer.

I was just perusing the "For Sale" section and noticed that one of our UHHer's was selling a nice Nikon outfit for, what seemed to me, a good price. Another UHHer chimed in and said that he personally didn't like the camera for whatever reason. If you're not interested in the item...KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!! Who cares what YOU think of the item!!! The item is not up for discussion, it's up for sale. Mind your own business. Think of how you would feel if someone did it to you!!! You know you would be ticked off. If you're having oral diarrhea and just have to voice your unwanted opinion, simply PM the person.

Maybe there are some people who are UHH members that aren't really very good people.... That is the only reason I can fathom for some of the snarky comments that people make.

Not so much an "opinion", more of an instigation.


You may be right.
