I need some help
« on: May 25, 2016, 10:26:25 am »

I've just signed a contract to sell my house in Sydney. I'll be out in about 4-6 weeks.

I've been sorting out my things while fighing a nasty flu.

I'll be homeless for about four months and everything will go into storage. I'll also be moving into a new apartment with limited storage spce.

I have settled on a new camera system for my new life. My problem is I have quite a lot of camera gear that I have gathered and used along the way.

I have a Canon 5D Mk2, 60D and 20D with 3 L Zooms, 2 macros and an extender, 2 flashes, etc. I also have two compacts and other stuff. Plus a Epson 3880.

Is there an easy way to offload my stuff?

Cheers,

Find a local used camera store. Use KEH estimates for negotiating. You won't get top dollar, but you will get out of the hassle of individual sales and shipping either here or other web forums.

Thanks gegrub,

"Find a local used camera store. Use KEH estimates for negotiating".

Finding a local used camera store in Sydney that caters to my needs has long gone. Thanks for your help.

Any photo clubs to advertise at ? Local newspaper ? Local school photography class ?
FMV write off on taxes if donated to a school ?

Speaking of KEH, will they accept gear from overseas? If so it might be a good option. You'd lose a bit on shipping but it might be worth it to avoid more hassle.

There are two camera stores in Sydney that will sell your gear on consignment. Links below.

You could also try Camera Exchange in Melbourne. I am not sure if they buy your stuff outright or sell on consignment.
