For Sale Thinning Out the Herd (with pics!!)

[BradleyK]

After some consideration, deliberation, etc. I have decided to reduce my inventory of Nikon SLRs down to a level that more realistically meets my needs. So, I have up for sale the following:

1. Nikon F5: A solid user, probably graded between EX- and BGN (KEHese): A few cosmetic blemishes, but a solid and reliable performer. Last rotation (use) was in early January 2015. Price: $300 USD + shipping.

 

🛡️ Classifieds Safety Reminder: Please stay safe when buying and selling. Scams via hacked accounts are on the rise globally.

Best Practices: Always use a verified payment method with buyer protection (avoid "PayPal Friends & Family"). Services like Escrow.com are highly secure. Be suspicious of random unsolicited contact via Private Message. If you see suspicious behavior, please use the Report link on the post immediately.

If it wasn't for the big Ocean separating us (and import taxes) ....
This is a wonderful piece of machinery!

I am trying reall really hard not to start another system (I already have nearly everything I want in both OM and FD). But your herd thinning on these Nikons is making that hard. Someone buy these before I do.

Aww Matt,

Go ahead you know you need it. Everyone needs at least three systems.

Aww Matt,

Go ahead you know you need it. Everyone needs at least three systems.

The problem is I also have 645 and new-fangled-not-film... so I'm at five systems... and if I get this, then suddenly a not-film nikon will want to join the herd too...

If Nikon did something that my current system doesn't, then I could justify it... Stop tempting me!!!!


In all seriousness, good luck with the sales.

Only five systems?? Beginner!!!

That was a rhetorical statement, wasn't it? Otherwise start a new thread and duck for cover ....

Doing some looking on line (that site, etc), I have decided to drop the price to $275 USD + shipping. Payment via Paypal.

BLK

 

[BradleyK]

Still no takers? OK, let's try $250 USD + shipping.

Haha, wow. I can't afford that much film!

And seriously, no one is biting the OP's F2A for $100?! Don't do this to me people, someone buy that camera.

 

[tony lockerbie]

$250 for an F5....good times folks!

 

[BradleyK]

No interest thus far. Sooooo...$250 USD includes shipping to Canada and anywhere in the lower 48s.

 

[Oxleyroad]

Geez, if the minister of finance would give me the ok I'd buy it just to have a spare. If it still available in late march when I arrive in the US i'll take up the fight to get the funds to buy it.

 

[BradleyK]

Bump: C'mon, an F5, one of Nikon's best ever...for $250 USD, shipping included anywhere in Canada or the lower 48s?

 

[BradleyK]

OK, then: A final markdown on this gem: Price is $225 USD, shipping included to Canada and the Lower 48s. Payment by Paypal. Ad will be pulled at 12pm PST today if the unit doesn't sell.

 

[BradleyK]

Lots of lookers, but no takers. Sale is pulled.

 

[BradleyK]

Shall we try again? Took the camera out for a spin this past weekend (shot two rolls of E100VS) and reconsidered my last offer, deciding that it was too low for a camera of this quality and condition. So, backing up, the camera is again available, at the price of $250 USD, shipping included to any destination in Canada or the Lower 48s. Elsewhere, I would advise checking re taxes and duty. See pics in the OP. Payment by Paypal.

The F5 has been sold. I trust terryw will enjoy this marvelous camera as much as I have. Camera is currently packing up its jams, tees and flip-flops and heading off this am to its new home in California.
