Selling my Canon gear but unsure what price to ask...

Dazzlercee · 4 Dec 2008 at 18:15

Decided to sell my DSLR setup which comprises:

Canon 5D (as new, approx 5200 photos taken)
Canon 17-40 F4L
Sigma 100-300 F4 EX APO DG HSM
Sigma 150 F2.8 EX APO DG Macro
Sigma 1.4x APO DG tele converter
Canon EF50 F2.5 Macro
Canon Speedlite 420 EX

All kit as as new with original receipts in most cases. Have no idea what to ask and whether to sell as a job lot or seperate.

Any suggestions appreciated.

I'd say separate, as people who need that sort of level of kit don't need everything at once.

For example, I'd love a Sigma 150 Macro, but I can't afford all that lot

As for prices, take a whirl round fleabay, I think that's probably the best guide you'll get.

Check the classified sections of the talk photography and AV forums as well.

that's around 2k to 2.5k of equipment there, there are a slim chance of someone going to buy all that in a 1 go, obviously no beginner will do it and any pro will already have most of the glass he wants.

Split it, you will get rid of it far easier and quicker, not to mention can get you more money.

As above, TP and POTN will give you good estimates of prices.

Cheers guys.

I would definitely split it and then use the big online secondhand specialists prices as a guide.

I'm gonna start hunting for a second hand 5D in the new year. I think a good one would be 700-800 max at the moment, from what I have been following on eBeep.

Yes definitely the right time to buy a 5D now the Mk11's are out. Prices should start to drop a little bit.
