Photo Trader Mag is a favourite of mine
It seems that eBay has been taken over by the "new from Hong Kong" crowd. Not until you get to page 3 or 4 ( I search by "new items first") do you start getting "spatters" of real, 2nd hand, in australia equipment up for sale..... it's a bit sad really, Sold has gone, Stuff is still stuffed (with their crappy category setup) and now we are just left with a Clayton's eBay :-( Just as well we still have Trading Post! Do you guys know of any other good places to look for local 2nd hand gear? -- Russell ...

"local 2nd hand gear" was mentioned....
considering the nature of this newsgroup I just assumed that everyone would
realise I am after "photographic equipment"... be it cameras, lights or what
ever, no need to be specific.

They dont have an online site unfortunately ... You can however get the
magazine sent by subcription ..
Even though you live in the sticks, it does really matter - Ive bought stuff
outta there from melbourne or wherever and just get them to post it to me
.... Never had a problem with a dishonest seller to date.
It comes out about every 2 months and is about $3.00 - I cant find my last
issue at the moment to give you the contact details.

Even a moon-crazed woman with a platinum card can at least buy one thing at
a time.
Actually ... Miro has a point :D
If you want to buy local Australian based 2nd hand photographic equipment,
eBAY.au still has them.
David in Perth [partnerelijah] , mgwebster, topogon and few other ppl still
sell 2nd or new gears in eBAY.
Tho those HK based seller around, they still sell 2nd hand gears too.
Its only a matter of how you look.

Hi there..
He really was simply merely lamenting about how much e he had to weed
through on ebay to find those people you mention.
Miro never has a point (which I suspect is his problem).

Ironic and rhetorical would be lost on you, wouldn't it ! Why else would
you give an answer when there is no question.

It seems that anyperson looking for nothing in particular generally tends to
find it.
SO have you found "it" yet?

gear?
> Photo Trader Mag is a favourite of mine[/ref]
I'm afraid the prices in there are just as high as in 2nd-hand stores around
oz. This is fine I suppose if you've never tried ebay and are earning a
decent wage, but once you've managed to find nice lenses etc. for under $100
on ebay it's pretty hard to accept that ppl in Photo Trader are asking $300
for exactly the same thing.
A small difference to some is a large difference to others. It's nice to
browse thru and look at all the yummy gear in that mag tho.
