Need a 2nd hand price for H1 system

[AndreNapier]

You could have done that in one post, but i guess 3 was more dramatic, eh?  Get lost, Andre.

I could have but I am not as good with computers as you are. Consider me lost. I am done with this threat. Sorry if I offended you.

... and of course I can be mistaken and you just really did not know and had no way to check on your "MacBook" the prices for H1 and lenses. It that case I would advice you to make the purchase from the seller who has no connection to you right away since any pownshop in Australia is going to offer him/her more for this staff. I had no intention to offend you but rather to caution fellow photogs
of possibilities of a hidden agenda. We live in a world were we are bombarded every day with internet very sophisticated scams. Being overly paranoid is still much cheaper than being sorry.
Enjoy this good deal.

Tomas,

Best of luck with the purchase and resale of the products, you can make monay on ebay breaking it up into parts.

As for all the bashing I didn't see him asking if anyone wanted to buy the stuff....  Simply asking advice to "PROFESSIONALS" like andre napier.  Which to me is a joke, not sure how this CHEEZE BALL makes a living and how he buys his A75s.  

Tomas, your work already blows this guys away... so I hope you were be sarcastic saying you wish you could shoot like this TOOL.  You never want to aspire to be like this guy.

I think he makes most of his money from the Hair Salon and claims to be a photographer.  This guy couldn't get a job shooting retired aging pornstars in LA for free.  The people that do hire him have to be CHEEZIER than he is, which is hard.


Anyway, nice work on your UBER site and I would keep the Hassleblad H gear if I were you and try to sell your Hassleblad V and downgrad the Nikon kit.  the Hassleblad H1 with the Imacon back is a great set up.  I just got the H3D and love it.

We should close this thread by now, this is getting is nowhere.

I agree with Andre, it simply sounds too good to be true,and my alarm bell was ringing immediately when I saw this post.
Well,advice was given, if this thing is for real, go and buy this stuff NOW, and resell it if you can. I don't really see why you still hang around discussing in this thread. People, me included, are very carefull over here, and it really seems that you hang around waiting for offers from fellow LL forumers. Sorry if this is not the case.

Good Morning Willem

Nice to see you buzzing in here-hope things good for you as well--work slowed to a point where I will be selling my P25/H1 kit on Aus Ebay soon. Cannot justify it up here.

I thought this was the tropics--it's 9c up here this morning!

Best,

Des

Assuming this proposition is not a scam, you have a few options:

1) Buy and resell everything. Risks: beiing stuck on one or more items, getting less money than expected. Same as getting a good deal on a car or any other stuff. Somewhat different business than photography.

2) Buy and resell back only, keep lenses. In my opinion this is not smart, what do you do with naked lenses and nothing to record the image on? Could still be a viable option if you really get the lenses for very cheap after selling the back. Risk: selling a digital back may be harder than expected, prices fall fast and pros in this market want the latest and best for a reason.

3) Make an economically sound decision as a photographer. What is the present value of the deal, what is its payback date? How long does it take to pay for itself, with what probability? Can this equipement get you jobs you cannot get now? How often? Is renting gear (and charging the client specifically for it) an alternative? If the purchase still looks good from this point of view, buy. Otherwise simply don't.
