Cameras etc

[Dennis S]

Just in case you missed my other post that was under a different title. See you there.

 

[gorbas]

See you there Dennis, as usual!

I even have a table there this year. Too many 35mm cameras/lenses & paraphernalia.

I have an Omega 4x5 enlarger with colour head and 3 lens turret I really want to get rid of... Any chance of selling it there?

There isn't usually a lot of darkroom stuff there, and in particular not much medium format stuff, so you might be successful. But you probably would need your own table, unless Dennis wants to share his .

Why not put up an add here in the classifieds on APUG?

 

[Dennis S]

I am already sharing a table but we do have a consignment table right by the entrance so it will be noticed. Or you can bring it to our table as neither of us have very many items. Be sure to bring it early ie 8:00-8:30

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

I'd definitely give you a cut if it sold. I have no clue what price to put on it. It's in very good condition. The lenses are minty.
Matt, I've thought about classifieds, but have been a bit weary... Are you going to the swap meet?

I've had very good experiences with the classifieds here - even including a couple of examples where there was slight challenges with communication.

If you list a 4x5 enlarger, most likely you will want it to be a "pick up only" transaction, so you get to deal face to face.

I'll probably go to the swap meet - and no, I don't need a second 4x5 Omega enlarger!

(Or so I'm told ).

And I have my Beseler 45 & 23CII x2 so there is no way I can use another. I'll PM you my # so you can contact me to make arrangements. For pricing your 3 lenses would put the price higher. Maybe do the lenses separately to get the enlarger to an affordable range.

how many tables does this show usually see ? curious how it compares to those in the GTA.

 

[gorbas]

Andrew, it's never certain what will sell or not on swap meets. Crowd there react in very strange way.
Instead of carring that beast around (and it will take whole table) just take and print photograph of it with "cupons" with your contact and price and leave it on my or Dennis table.
Canuhead, not sure? Maybe 50-80 tables? Its quite big, but sometimes is smaller. You never know?

 

[MattKing]

If Phil Chin has his wetplate studio there (I think he said he was) it usually takes up the space of three or four tables.

 

[Dennis S]

I have not gotten the total tables and even the one I get until April 6. Yes there is a fairly big amount.

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

Thanks guys!

 

[canuhead]

50-60 is pretty nice.

 

[Dennis S]

Very good day. Fairly busy all day. I bailed out about came home with $$ and a few cameras & lenses. How did things work with you Andrew? There was a few enlargers there but never followed to find if they sold. I left @ about 2:30 but most important stuff was sold and I escaped before I got hit with GAS (not too bad anyway).

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

I was there around 1:30 and wandered around for about 15 minutes. I ran into Matt on the way out. I had to skedaddle as wife was waiting "patiently" in the car.

 

[Dennis S]

The results are in. There was a total of 91 tables filled on sale day. Bit of an increase from last yr so things are maintaining.
