I have a collection of vintage Nikon F equipment I am planning to sell. There are 2 cameras with working meters (FTN), 11 lenses, and miscellaneous items such as filters, cases, rings, etc., all in excellent condition. I bought most of this equipment when I was in Japan in the '70s. I am wondering: where would be the best place to sell this equipment? (I am new to the Forum, and I see there is a classified section, but I also sell on eBay.) Also, it is better to sell each item individually or as a package? Thanks for your help, Thomas
OK, thanks for the advice. I decided to sell the equpment. I am planning to list the stuff on eBay. However, I will type in a short list in this forum's classified section. (Apparently as a newbie I cannot insert attachments, and I do not have time to type in a detailed list of three cameras, 10 lenses and numerous accessories.) If anyone is interested, they can send me a PM or email. I would prefer to sell it all at once, however, I would look at offers on specific items.

You can list what you've got in the classified section here if you like?

I too have a "collection" of older Nikon F stuff. First, I would keep it, but thats me. But if you feel you must sell, I would sell each piece individually. Even down to the filters and lens hoods. If you include them with a lens, it won't sell for any more, but seperatly they might bring
$10 to $50 more. Especialy for some of the more obscure lens hoods that collectors want. To be honest, old film cameras don't bring much unless they are rare. For example I bought a mint 1968ish Photomic FTN for $75 on ebay, then saw the same camera in about the same condition in a local shop for $90. Too cheap. Glass seems to bring more realistic prices, but nowhere near what they are worth. So, for what you are likely to get for them, I'd keep 'em.
