Must SEE, NIB Hasselblad H5D-40, 100mm, 120mm Macro II Cheap

Hey guys, so here is the deal...

I had an old Hasselblad 501 and lenses stolen a few weeks back and to my surprise my AMAZING home owners insurance company (PM for name) decided to replace it with "New, like kind" and so they ordered a few items from B&H for me. I do not want or need them and so I want to sell them while they are still brand new, although it is very tempting to want to pull them out and give it a go...

These items are all NIB, unopened, unused, not only in original boxes but still in B&H shipping boxes.

If you are looking for the best deal in the world on New Hasselblad gear, this is it. I have pics of the boxes and I can open them if a purchaser wants to video chat with me for verification via skype or Apple Facetime and also I am a one of the largest wedding photographers in Nashville, TN. I have the B&H packing slips showing dates and this stuff showed up in just the last few days. Everything will be shipped in individual boxes and fully insured. They have the unfilled out warranty cards of course.

I want who ever buys this stuff to have complete confidence so feel free to ask any questions.

I am very amicable and reasonable on pricing, go do your research and do not be afraid to make an offer for individual items or the lot; you won't offend me. my ebay handle is joshreeder for anyone wanting to do their homework on me as well as my site is joshreeder.com my google number which rings to my cell phone is (615) 266-4246.

Let me know if you have any interest!!! If you are within a few hours I am also happy to drive a few hundred miles and meet half way for the hand off if interested.

You may want to post your location and more about yourself, your blog and photo related history, plus your EBay handle at minimum.

No one is going to buy these expensive stuff from "BRAND NEW MEMBER WITH ZERO HISTOIRY"

Well here goes on pricing then...

That seems very fair for brand new items but I guess we shall see, like I said offers welcome!!!

A big shout out to the community here. 16 messages so far on the stuff. Negotiating on a few offers. Still time to make an offer. I know this is expensive stuff but a pretty rare situation and chance to own bh photo new gear vs used. Pm offers please and will post the closing prices so everyone knows what things go for.

These guys definitely got a good deal, but like I said i wanted to make it happen quick.

I sold the body and Sandisk card together for $8800 before paypal and shipping. Net $8,430.

I sold the 100mm and 120mm together for $5,600 net; buyer paid all fees.

total net was about $14,400.

BH had offered me $11,600. Those crazy goons sold it to my Insurance comapny for around $24,000.

Adorama had offered me at least $12,000 they said they would beat any "pro" offer I would get and maybe more and offered to pay shipping there and insurance and back if I didn't take their offer.

I was hoping to get $15k selling outright and got pretty darn close and sold and shipped within a week of posting.

Cheers, Josh

All in all the market for this stuff is not great, even new gear. The depreciation is pretty insane. At the end of the day I believe I made more than I would have on eBay for sure but I expected to get more for it.

Either way I am happy.

The market for this stuff consists of working image makers who insist on the the best tools available!
Most of these image makers prefer to buy from a added value vendor!
