I BUY KONICA AND KONI OMEGA CAMERAS, EQUIPMENT, LENSES, ACCESSORIES, PARTS, AND LITERATURE. I USUALLY PAY 30% - 70% OF RETAIL PRICE. THE EXACT VALUE DEPENDS ON FOUR (4) FACTORS: COSMETIC CONDITION, MECHANICAL CONDITION, RARITY, AND HOW COMPLETE THE ITEM IS. FOR EXAMPLE, DOES IT HAVE A CASE, CAPS, INSTRUCTIONS, BOX, ETC.? ALSO, I WILL OFTEN BUY BROKEN, OR NON-WORKING CAMERAS. I ACCEPT GIFTS, AND / OR DONATIONS (AS MANY HAVE CALLED THEM) FROM THE "MY TRUSTY OLD FRIEND" CATEGORY OF EQUIPMENT THAT SENTIMENTAL OWNERS DEEM DESERVE A BETTER SEND OFF THAN A LANDFILL, OR JUNK BIN AT THE LOCAL CHARITY (WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO LOOK INTO HAVING IT FIXED). IT'S THE CAMERA'S EQUIVALENT TO "LEAVING IT'S BODY TO SCIENCE".......OFTEN I CAN FIND SOME PART TO REFURBISH OR USE.........AND OFTEN I CAN NOT. BACK TO TOP •PROCEDURE: YOU CAN E-MAIL, FAX, OR CALL ME WITH AN INFORMAL DESCRIPTION THE ITEMS YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SELLING, AND I WILL GIVE YOU AN ESTIMATED RANGE OF WHAT I FEEL THEY MIGHT BE WORTH. IF THIS RANGE IS IN THE BALL PARK OF WHAT YOU WANT, THEN YOU SEND THE ITEMS TO ME. WHEN I RECEIVE THEM, I WILL LOOK THEM OVER. AFTER AN ACTUAL PHYSICAL CHECK OF THE EQUIPMENT, I WILL CONTACT YOU WITH A SPECIFIC OFFER FOR WHAT I FEEL THEY ARE WORTH. IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE OFFER, I SEND YOU PAYMENT. IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN SELLING THE EQUIPMENT FOR THE GIVEN PRICE, I WILL COVER THE COST OF SHIPPING IT BACK TO YOU. BACK TO TOP •PRICING: IF THE PRICES I OFFER TO PAY SEEM HIGHER OR LOWER THAN THOSE DEMONSTRATED IN ONLINE AUCTIONS, OR OFFERED BY OTHER SELLERS, IT IS USUALLY BECAUSE I BASE MY BUYING ON EXPERIENCE, AND FACTORS NOT USED BY OTHERS. ONE FREQUENT EXAMPLE IS THAT I MAY BE CONSIDERING WHAT IT WILL COST TO REFURBISH AN ITEM FOR RESALE. BY SELLING EQUIPMENT TO ME, A SELLER ASSURES HIM/HERSELF OF SEVERAL IMPORTANT SECURITIES. •THE BENEFITS FOR YOU AS THE SELLER ARE THAT YOU WILL BE DEALING WITH AN ESTABLISHED BUSINESS WITH A GOOD REPUTATION. •YOU CAN BE ASSURED OF A NO-NONSENSE DEAL THAT WILL NET YOU A FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR YOUR EQUIPMENT WITHOUT THE HASSLE OF WORRYING ABOUT ACTUALLY GETTING YOUR PAYMENT FROM AN UN-ESTABLISHED STRANGER. •YOU AVOID BEING CONFRONTED WITH THE POSSIBLE "MESSY" DISAGREEMENTS WITH INEXPERIENCED BUYERS WHO DON'T THINK THEY GOT THEIR MONEY'S WORTH, OR CLAIM THAT YOU DIDN'T REPRESENT, OR SHIP YOUR ITEM ACCURATELY. •AND FINALLY, SINCE I KNOW, AND SPECIALIZE IN THE KONICA MARKET, I CAN OFTEN BUY ENTIRE COLLECTIONS - UNLIKE BUYERS THAT MAY JUST WANT TO "CHERRY PICK" YOUR EQUIPMENT. I HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY CUSTOMERS LAMENTING THE FACT THAT THEY DECIDED TO "GO FOR THE BIGGER -FAST BUCK" ONLY TO REGRET THE PROBLEMS THAT ENDED UP OUT-WEIGHING THE BENEFITS. IN THE END, I RESPECT THE FACT THAT IT REMAINS THE SELLERS CHOICE (OF HOW TO SELL THEIR EQUIPMENT). BACK TO TOP •PAYMENT: I CAN MAKE PAYMENT TO YOU VIA BUSINESS CHECK, PAYPAL, OR MONEY ORDER - WHICH EVER YOU PREFER. •SHIPPING: IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT HOW TO SAFELY WRAP, BOX, AND SHIP YOUR EQUIPMENT, PLEASE REFER TO THE SHIPPING GUIDELINES AS SUGGESTED IN THE "SHIPPING" CATEGORY OF THE "CUSTOMER SERVICE" PAGE OF THIS WEB SITE.
