How to get CHEAP camera gear on EBAY, and not get ripped off.

[@jonathanjones4566]

Here's a tip. As you unwrap things, remove the empty bubble wrap from the box so you don't have to dig through it to find the next item.

Some good info on lenses, maybe you can make a video about bodies too. That may be a little more difficult of course. Lenses are really more important anyway.

Hey could you show us your lighting set up. Looks amazing man, keep up the great work

[@markwiemels]

Thanks. I’m 3 videos into a how to KZbin series. I have lots of lighting detail in there, hopefully will publish those videos soon.

Thanks for the advice! Just bought a New m6 mark 2 with the kit lens, now looking to buy for 11-22 and Sigma 16mm but used ones...

[@markwiemels]

Some good choices.

I've been trying to sell these 2 SONY lenses for over a year and have had zero inquiries. Is there a market for them or are they white elephants that belong in the recycling bin? Lens #1 - wide conversion lens BCL-HGD0758 x0.7 made in Japan. Lens #2 - tele conversion VCL-HGD1758 x 1.7 made in Japan. Comes with covers and soft case.

I think your next video should be how to be a minimalist. Your gear is out of control. I poke fun because I am the same way. I have never purchased from eBay or Craigslist, but I have sold stuff. Not a bad way to sell old or unused gear and put that money towards gear that you will use. That's how I got my R6. It took a year, but I got it and it's payed for.

[@markwiemels]

Yes, I have a problem. You know, at one point I did consider myself a minimalist of sorts... clearly not anymore. I have about 30% of that gear slated for selling, just got to get around to taking photos and listing it.

Your channel has helped me a lot thank you

[@markwiemels]

Thanks, nice to hear.

[@wakkowarner8810]

The only times I really got scammed on eBay is when the seller didn’t ship the camera I bought and PayPal refunded me the money every time that happened to me.

[@joseghernandez2009]

DO YOU GET ALL THIS CAMERAS THRU A WHOLESALE OF USED EQUIPMENT DEALER??

[@markwiemels]

No, ebay.

[@brianmoore7762]

Thanks for the vlog, Mark. My question that I was hoping you would answer but didn't is; Do you worry about whether your used Canon equipment you buy on eBay was originally sold through a Canon USA Authorized dealer or not. I do as I have read and heard that if I ever need service or repair sometime down the road Canon will not even touch a nonCanon USA piece of equipment. So unless the eBay listing specifically indicates, Yes or No, I use the "contact seller" option and ask. Unfortunately, I almost never get a reply back from a seller when I ask that question. Am I being to anal? What do you think and recommend? Thanks

[@markwiemels]

Canon doesn’t reject paid repairs, they just don’t accept warranty claims.

[@RTMI1258]

[@NikCan66]

[@bryanbarajasBB]

[@NubAnSkrub]
