Lots of discussion here on prices as well as challenges from the standpoint of a buyer regarding potential scams buying on ebay. I'd love to get some recommendations on where a seller should go to sell a good quality MFDB. I love my IQ180 and related gear (body, lenses, etc.) but don't use it much due to work, so have been considering selling it. Not sure how to go about it though without resorting to eBay. Any recommendations?
Also not sure what prices to ask in hopes of setting a fair market price for buyer and seller (me).
For any seller, I think the most important factor is setting the right asking price. In my opinion, for digital-backs this is very very tricky. Relatively low sales volumes and non-disclosure of recent final sale prices makes it hard to establish a true-market-value.
It also does not help that digital-backs have very high original prices and sellers have a very tough time determining the true extent of depreciation. Its a losing battle against constant technological updates whenever a higher mega-pixel back arrives, or a new CMOS back, or a newer back that has better usability, or some other feature. As someone who has very recently bought a pre-owned Credo 60, I have keenly observed prices and have noticed the prices to be trending lower, rather steeply.
I have bought and sold lots of photography equipment on eBay as well as various photography forums. I feel both avenues are viable. The key is price - any item sells if it is priced well, whether that is on eBay or a forum.
