Canon Gear for Sale!!

Alrighty gang, here is the post you’ve been waiting for…

I’m switching to Nikon.  Per several requests,  I am going to prepare a full post later as to why.  I thought I was going to be so practical about this, but it turns out that I am actually getting a little sentimental as I prepare all of my Canon gear for sale.  There are absolutely some things I’m going to miss about Canon, but for me it turns out (and the reasons are very weird and specific to me…I’ll share in my post) that for now at least, Nikon is a better choice.  So, before we get started, here is what you need to know about my gear:

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BELOW!  I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU DECIDING NOT TO READ SOMETHING.  I’VE GOT MY CAPS LOCK ON, PEOPLE.  SO YOU KNOW I MEAN BUSINESS!!!!

**I am the original owner of everything listed.  None of it was purchased used.

**All of it is in great condition.  I don’t shoot like a madwoman, so some of it is barely used at all.   All gear, both cameras and lenses, shoot just fine.  Nothing has been recently calibrated.

**I researched pricing by typing in each piece of equipment, and determined what they are being sold for (used – similar condition, etc.) on Amazon.  Then, I went a bit lower than the lowest.  It wasn’t very scientific, but it was quick & easy.

**You will pay for shipping and all purchases will be final.  I ship UPS ground, and typically an item will go out on the next business day.   You will pay actual shipping – no markups -and I’m going to insist on insurance.   Items will all be professionally packaged  by my friendly local UPS shipping place.  Payments will be accepted via paypal or with your credit card via paypal.  I will send you an invoice, and you have 24 hours to pay it before I offer your selected item to the next interested party.  That is the fairest way I know how to do it.

**Items will be sold on a “First Come/First Serve” basis, and local residents will receive priority consideration since shipping isn’t an issue. If you are not local,  I will accept offers by order of which they are received in my inbox.  If you are local (Hampton Roads Resident), you’re welcome to come and check anything out ahead of time at a mutually agreed upon time.  However, if you’re not able to examine the equipment before I accept another offer, I am not responsible for that.

**I will only accept offers emailed, not Facebooked.  If you have questions, I’ll answer them as quickly as possible.  I am only entertaining full price offers at this time.

Please email patti@pattibrownphotography.com with questions or offers.  Offers will be accepted in the order in which they are received.  Once you have offered to buy a piece, I will send you a paypal invoice, and you will have 24 hours to pay it.  If you do not pay it within 24 hours, I will accept the next offer.    Shipping will be paid by buyer and will initially be billed between $30-$60 per piece.  I will refund you the difference in the actual shipping amount.  Will be shipped via UPS ground.  Thanks eversomuch!!

Okay, here is the gear:

Canon EOS 5D Body Only:  Great condition, has original packaging but there are a few random cords that I’m not sure what they are for.  Extra (generic brand but works just fine) battery included.  Charger & all the other little things that came originally also included.  Manual is there too, but is dog eared in quite a few spots.  $1,000

Canon 16 -35 L-Series II 16-35mm 2.8 lens: Awesome lens, great shape, has seen light use.  Original packaging, hood, manual included. $1,100

SOLD! Canon 530 EXII Flash:  This has maybe been fired 50-75 times since I rarely use flash.  Doesn’t have original packaging and all the little flash stand plastic things that were thrown in there (which I never use), does have case & manual. Perfect for anyone using OCF.  $325

SOLD! Canon 430 EX Flash:  Just like the other one, this has seen light use.  I’ve maybe fired it 50-75 times.  Doesn’t  have original packaging or the little plastic things that come with it (which I never use), does have case & manual. Works great with light stand, ideal for anyone using or getting into OCF

SOLD! Canon 100mm 2.0 Telephoto: My favorite lens.  Used it in place of an 85mm, and love the extra 15mm of background blur it gives.  I don’t have the original packaging.  $300.

SOLD! Pocket Wizards Mini TT1 Transmitter:  Barely Used, original packaging. $100

SOLD! Pocket Wizard Flex TT5 Transceiver:  Barely Used, includes ACF Soft Shield. $150

SOLD! Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body Only: Great condition, but I lost the packaging in a move.  I’ll pack it up all safe & nicely for you though.  Battery & Charger included.  Has a generic replacement body cap (body cap does not say “Canon” on it) because I lost the original.  Manual, strap, and all that included.  Not sure if I have all the miscellaneous cords that Canon likes to include with everything. $1,800

SOLD! Canon L-Series 70-200mm 2.8 IS lens:  The Image Stabilization on this is amazing.  Great shape.  Original packaging, lens case, hood, manual all included.  One of my favorite lenses. $1,500

SOLD! Canon L-Series 24-70mm 2.8 lens: Great Shape.  Probably my personal least used lens, but it’s very popular.  Near perfect condition – shoots like a champ.  Original packaging, hood, manual, all included. $1,000.

SOLD! Canon 50mm 1.4 lens – Nearly New.  Amazing shape. Bought this earlier in 2011 for travel purposes, and have only used it a couple of times. Original packaging & instructions.  $300
