Good website for Used/Pre-Owned Equipment?

pemmyk · Sep 6, 2013

I'm wondering If anyone knows a good website that buys/sells used equipment. I mean, other than amazon and the usual suspects, thinking of a place for flimmakers of all kinds to to buy and sell. Does something like this exist or do i just scour all of the forums like this to see whats available.

Does bhphotovideo.com count as a "usual suspect" ?

I was grouping it in with them, yea. I'm thinking something more community based I guess- rather than a retailer.

BH guarantees their used stuff. Community based does not. A world of a difference.

B&H also don't sell high-end gear second hand as far as I know (though feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). You couldn't pick up a pre-owned Preston Hand Unit, or set of PL primes, or even higher end cameras at B&H I believe.

some other forums have a more active marketplace than IT. I bought a few items from that other forum..
