Heavenhated Offline Upload & Sell: Off
|
Sharath,
Its ok to be here for just buy and sell. To build a history i started with buying. Not just here, in any forums establishing a history requires genuinity in buying which makes it safer for sellers.
Once you establish a good feedback buying some gears, people will know you are legit and will start taking risks.
Also the forum is not exactly as it was 5 years back. The scammers actually didnt bother to disturb the forum as much as they do now.
Being local to NJ, meet fellow fotographers and create reference. I have met few in NY and NJ and have had great deal selling and buying items. THey have not even left a feedback but the experience is enough in case i have to provide reference.
I joined here so early and my contribution is mainly around buy and sell with some reviews here and there on some gears.
I like to share pictures, unfortunately my 99.9% of all pictures are of my 2 year old and i am not comfortable bringing them online.
If you can find someone to refer you who has good feedback, that helps a lot for many buyers including me.
And secondly your strategy to sell at lower price will always work against you if you are new simply because, thats the standard OP of these scammers. They post attractive price to bait and basically switch.
Hence be honest in pricing, show lots of pictures, provide reference, and be ready to chase the local buyer to provide a feedback.
Get more interactive in forums by sharing pictures, reviews of your own gears and creating a forum trust.
I dont know many here, and i always ensure i provide as much detail as possible and even follow up multiple times to ensure they are happy with the product. I dont haggle much and i am firm on my prices. Good luck with your sale and if in NJ we can meet up as a group here with few others over a saturday shoot and build your reference.
