Yesterday I sold fifty Pentax lenses from the pre-F era.

aoeu · 05-06-2017, 02:18 PM

and ten low end film Pentax cameras along with every scrap of M42 including a broken fotosniper.
I'm reasonably certain that I enjoyed buying, using, and owning them.
The LX complete set did not sell. The K20D did.
Who knew?

May I ask how you did that? I'm contemplating similar radical surgery.

I am at a similar point in my life. I have a large collection dating back to K-1000 film days. I still use film and an ME Super but I have overdone the digital lens and bodies. I have all the limited lenses and a slew of other equipment. I have never sold anything so I will probably use the forum over EBay but any advice would be helpful.

I got lucky.
Attracted the right buyer at an advertised estate sale.
Most of the tripods also got sold.

I'm disappointed! Would have liked to see what you had.

Are you posting from the other side?

Perhaps double posting is one of the ways to get the message through to the other side
