From my experience with Photo Trader 90 percent of the adds were for what I call "Not Really for sale" Items other words so high priced no real buyer will be interested. You now see these type of sellers at photo markets and listing their stuff on Ebay "Buy Now"

The remaining 10 percent of sellers have moved to traditional Auction houses (most times this is not a good buy as :- NO Return on this stuff if it is bad) and Ebay of course.


I had a look as some Leica's being sold at a Auction House here in Adelaide, the cameras all had issues, the lenses looked like a ice skating ring. The uneducated buyers all expected them to be good....Oh Dear
