Title: Disposing of Incredible collection Nikon lenses
Post by: espeekay on September 02, 2012, 09:12:04 pm

A friend died and his wife has asked me to dispose of his Nikon and lenses. I do not have time to do ebay, ship individually, etc. I was hoping for suggestions of possible places to place on consignment. This represents about $20,000 worth of lenses new. Every lens is pristine, as the guy was a very compulsive physician. Appreciate suggestions. Here is the list.
Zoom
AF-S Nikkor 24-70 f2.8 G ED
AF-S Nikkor 70-300 f4.5-5.6 ED
AF-S VR Nikkor 70-200 f2.8
AF-S Nikkor 12-24 f4 G ED DX
AF-S Nikkor 18-200 f3.5-5.6 G ED DX

Specialty
AF DC-Nikkor 135mm f2
AF-S Micro Nikkor 105 f2.8 G ED
AF DC-Nikkor 60mm f2.8 ED
TC-17 teleconvertor
TC-20EIII teleconvertor

Fixed  focal length
AF-S Nikkor 24mm f1.4 G ED
AF Nikkor 35 mm f2
AF Nikkor 50 mm f1.4
AF Nikkor 85mm f1.4
AF-S Nikkor 300mm f2.8 ED w case (A ton of glass)

Nikon D300 camera
Interval timer

Since we don't know what part of the world you are in, it is hard to give advice. Maybe check a local used/new camera store and see if they will take on consignment. Otherwise, places like KEH or B&H or Adorama, but don't expect more than 50% at best.  If you want to get a feel, just fill out the KEH "buy my equipment " and see what the automated system gives you. You can also look at the prices they ask for selling used. Fred Miranda . com is another resource.  Otherwise, find an ebay seller that will work with you for a cut.
Good luck.

Laurie Excell - has a service through her site Equipment Lady.  She can do all of the ebay stuff for you -- you'll likely get more for the equipment this way than "wholesale" to KEH etc.

Are you willing to part out your lenses?  I am interested in the TC 20III?  Please e-maile me with price.  I am in California.
