I'm selling my Panasonic AF100A with the 12-35 F2.8 lens for $1700 (or best offer) if anyone is interested. I barely used this camera as it only has 9 operation hours on it, it is in mint condition and works great! I bought this camera and lens new from B&H about 2 months ago, but it didn't fit my needs because I am more of an ENG run n' gun type shooter and I missed the convenience of having a servo zoom more than I thought I would, (coming from a DVX/HVX background). It comes in it's original box with all of the original accessories. It's still under the manufacturer's warranty. If anyone is interested or has any questions, please check it out and send me a message!

A like new Red Rock Micro Matte Box. This is the older version, that comes with two sets of rails for your particular setup, not the newest one that attaches without rails. This is a complete product, ready to use. All you would add are gels that that go in the mounts. This comes in a shipping case with foam insert. You could buy a Pelican case and drop the foam into it and would be ready to travel. It's in beautiful condition, I've only used it once, and it all seems in great shape. It retailed new for about $1000. Having owned one of the cheap Indian knock offs, I can tell you that if I needed a matte box, this is the one to own. The flags are attached with very well constructed screw mounts, and the Indian knock offs out there will strip at that particular point. These will last you a lifetime. And it's made by a great US company. Treat yourself to the best that's made, or use it in your rental pool.

Hey Clive, a few thoughts that might help you get more bids on ebay.

You want people to be able to pay attention when it's ending, in the hope of getting a few bidders at the last minute who refuse to back down. To be able to be at their computers or on their phones. At 5.42 most people will be at work, on their way home or having dinner.

Second, if you are putting a reserve on it start it off at 99p. It will get more attention initially and more people will watch it.

The best time to end auctions in the UK is between 7pm and 7.30pm. Sunday is also the busiest day of the week for ebay. You can schedule the start time for an extra 6p or something silly.

And there's no such thing as too many pictures. The more confident people are in terms of the items condition the more likely they are to bid and bid high!

I made these changes to my listings a few years ago and noticed a huge difference in the prices I was getting.

Hope this is helpful, it's just some months I make more buying and selling on ebay than from video work. I'm gearing myself up for a lot of ebaying over the next wee while. Hope you're good. M.

I agree! Sunday evening endings are always the best and having your item end at 1:00am on a Wednesday morning is about the worst!

Of course if you are buying look for an item that is ending at a weird time on a week day and you will probably win the auction with no competition. I bought a 4 channel mixer almost new once for a mere $12.00 simply because the seller listed it after midnight on a week day (Wednesday actually) and no-one bothered to stay up to grab it!! If you are doing a 7 day auction, do your listing as already said, around 7pm on a Sunday for 7 days and it will get maximum attention!!

Good tips! Thanks Michael - hope you are well!

It was an entire day of cleaning, collecting, packing, photographing - I was just glad to get the listings up - I didn't even think about it!

I'll know again! Here's hoping there's a bidding war in the last hour....

Still though - any money is better than none for gear that is gathering dust. Still stings a little though!

Yes, what they said about Sunday! Definitely time my auctions to end on Saturday or Sunday evening, makes a huge difference.

There were no bids on it, and so I was able to end it without penalty. I have it scheduled to relist for seven days from Sunday evening at 7pm! Here's hoping!

It's quite a niche though isn't it - higher end camcorders. That bit too pricey for enthusiastic Dad's, and yet perhaps seen as too amateurish by semi pros.

There are two 'used' on Amazon UK at £520 and £530 - I'd be waiting a long time on ebay to get that money for it!

ebay has a program called tubolister (I call it Turd-o-lister, but anyway - finally works smoothly on a 5th gen i5 laptop, was sordid to marginal on anything earlier!). It allows you (with patience!) to create listings offline and upload at your convenience (I think it even allows for some scheduling, saw that in the tips, and would be helpful if it works). If you sell much, you can "template" and automate at least some of your listing activity.

You definitely should "time" your listing ends, and you may want to consider using "buy it now" with offer - gives you more control over what the final sale price is - auctions, particularly ones that end at odd times and have titles that don't trigger their "best match" algorithm (AKA "worst match ever") will get no activity and if you are low someone will pick it off for opening bid.

FWIW, I put a couple things up when they offered a special on auction listings, got the WORST prices, won't ever do auction format again = only BIN/offer!!

Using "offer" also helps you "vett" a buyer so you end up with less deadbeats that don't pay (another VERY common ebay "issue").

One thing with pictures and descriptions is to keep in mind that a good portion of potential buyers are now going to be on a phone or tablet, NOT a computer (my numbers are reporting 26% of my sales are to a mobile device, strange since the only things I've sold recently were some ancient flip phones!). You need pix that look good on a small screen (get the ebay app if you have a smart phone, so you can see how listings look - it's VERY different from the web interface!).


All that said, HD cameras in general are getting tougher to sell, even though they are very hard to find if you should NEED one! I'm sure older tape based cams are even worse. The cell phone has killed most camera and video camera categories to the point of "mostly dead". People just don't see the need for higher end quality "gear" when they can get blurry smeary blobs out of their phone... not sure why... but it is what it is.

I'm upgrading, and decided to sell this system. It just got back from service at the Audio Technica factory and is in perfect working order.

I wasn't able to find the "prefix" for this listing, but it's for the US, including Alaska and Hawaii. And shipping is free!
