All of this equipment is AS NEW and unmarked in any way and includes all Instruction manuals.

I bought this outfit for my daughter when she returned to California after losing her house and job in Hurricane Rita a couple of years ago. It has been sitting unused since she decided to use her education to get a "real job" after dealing with a couple of "Bridezillas" in her start-up wedding photography business and now it needs to find a new home.

The package cost $7500 new at B & H in NY. I have already taken the hefty depreciation - this AS NEW condition complete outfit is a great buy for someone at $2950 complete.

Yes - I know it is usually better to separate items but I figured that someone might like to get a complete (almost unused) outfit rather than mess around mixing and matching items of uncertain  condition from multiple sellers

PayPal available to a verified buyer.

Thanks for looking,

Ian

You are a bit overpriced. Try ebay. You will not get even 2400$ for it

Thanks for your input folks!

I have reduced the price on LL to $2500 for the full package. Value is a very subjective thing - but I  think this is a fair price for equipment that is indistinguishable from unboxed new equipment.

I understand that many people find E-Bay to be a great marketplace to sell equipment but I have never had much enthusiasm for it. There are obviously a lot of good buyers and sellers on E-Bay, but weeding your way through all the "bottom-feeders", scam artists, incomplete or grossly inaccurate descriptions, poor/fraudulent/stolen/stock photos to get a deal is a headache that I can do without - and I would hope that some LL member feels the same way. If not - no harm done. I know how little my daughter used it so I may just keep it for my own use - it may not feel the same as my Hasselblad "V" gear, but it would probably be a whole lot more practical for the work I do with a digital back in MF.
