I have listed all my Hasselblad items that I plan to sell on eBay, which are a lens, flash, grip, and motor winder. I should be able to get £1000 for them, but of course, watching them so far, I have got to wonder if I am going to make more than a couple of pounds. I would be very remorse if the parts I have on auction went for less than £100 each. But I have tossed caution to the wind and decided to see what would happen on the flash and the winder. I seriously need more than £120 each on them, and that can be had as an average, of course.
Why the eagerness? I got to try out a Nikon D700 on Wednesday. The D300 was out to one of the shop employees for the day. I was told they were almost identical in the way they operate, especially the tracking focus and that lot. Judging by the 700, the D300 is a camera worth having! It had no troubles in the medium light shop. I mean, everything worked flawlessly! Metering, focusing, Vibration Reduction, all of it! Compared to what I have been shooting with thus far, this camera is the cat’s pyjama’s!
Trouble of course is that I need to sell my lens for around £800 or more. The body alone on the Nikon is £900. Then there is the need for a lens or two. I seriously need to line up some work! But of course, I need the camera to do the work! And debt is out of the question! So, fingers crossed, eBay will help rather than kill me!
