I'm with you, Frank. I would have bought it in a heartbeat, if I only had the funds right now. I wasn't even going to insult Ken with what I could offer him. All I can do is hope another one as sweet as Ken's rolls around when I can pick it up.

Sorry you had to go to that... that... OTHER auction place, Ken.

Well, guys, I really hated to have to go the ePay route, but it didn't seem that anyone at all was interested in it here.

Was a matter of having it just lying here not being used.

Will still consider a reasonable offer. It is a solid lens in terrific condition.

Still around?
 

Did you post an ad ...there? I'm interested.

Since I'd posted here first, for several days, I guess I can at least say "yes it is listed....over there".

We're not supposed to advertise auction site listings here, so I can't point you directly to it.

Thanks!

-Ken

I would be interested. Did you sell them?

WTB: Bogen 560B Fluid Video Monopod
 

Looking to save some $$ on a used 560B. If you have one you'd like to sell please drop me a line. Thanks! Email: mrowe23@hotmail.com

New price $ 2 150 US or $ 2 500 cds.

Ken, I'm sorry you chose to do that after a mere 3 days of offering at DVINFO.

When offering items for sale here, keep in mind that some folks don't have the luxury of checking in daily for what's available.

It took me at least a month to sell both my XL2 cameras here, but I persisted, knowing that dealing with fellow DVINFO members is my preference over the relatively unknown expanse of scammers operating at the auction place.

I would recommend a minimum of two weeks on larger ticket items because sometimes a person is interested as was mentioned here, but doesn't have the funds immediately available. Sometimes the offer is too good to pass up and prospective buyers will find a way to fund the purchase rather than let a great deal get away.

Just my humble opinion of course,

Just so you know, DVX100's are selling for about $2000cdn here. ;)

You're absolutely correct, Greg. Couldn't agree with you more on this subject.

I've even thought the exact same thing when I've seen others do it.

I've just been looking at this gorgeous lens sitting in my office and decided that it was time to try and recoup my investment in it for use on other gear that I currently need.

Just so that anyone reading this knows, I'm more than willing to pull down my listing on "the auction site" if I get a reasonable offer for it here.

I know that's not the way one is supposed to do things, but I feel somewhat bad about moving it over there as quickly as I did.

Thanks for all the interest, folks!

The main thing I want to avoid here is a short-term listing that goes immediately to Ebay after only 72 hours in this forum. It's almost as if we're simply being used as a pointer to Ebay. That's not fair to us. Nor is it fair to Ebay, because an item can't be for sale elsewhere at the same time that it's offered for auction on Ebay.

I think what we're going to do with these short-run ads is to simply withdraw them from public view once they've been announced as going to Ebay.

The other alternative is to start charging a fee for listing for-sale items here. In fact that might be a better way to go. Looking into a number of options,

How did it end up in your hands if you don't mind my asking? I sold it to Bruce Yarock on these boards and the last I knew he was still trying to sell it. If it is the one that I had "just 3 months ago" it is in great shape.

Yep, Marty, I got this from Bruce about a month-and-a-half ago. It's the one you had. Still in absolutely perfect shape!

Thanks for being so particular about your equipment! It was nice to get this in the shape I did.
