Private Classifieds listings from 2004

Rob Moreno · July 30th, 2004, 02:03 AM

My company has a complete Avid Media Composer system, including 422 audio interface and VSD slave driver units, PowerMac 9600 and four external hard drives, which has been collecting dust since we switched to FCP. Is this thing worth anything to anyone, or would we be better off tossing it in the dumpster...er, I mean recycling it.

In the US a school might take it, not sure about donations and such in Japan. Have you looked to see what they sell for on ebay?

Patrick Gault · July 30th, 2004, 06:42 AM

Sorry, no spre bulbs. Have you checked out barndoor lighting. They have reasonable prices. I think bhphotovideo sells a "general brand" 150 watt light for about $18. Your not going to get cheaper than that. Any light you buy have fairly expensive globes...this business / hobby isn't cheap.

Rob Moreno · July 30th, 2004, 10:06 AM

I did a quick search on ebay, most of the listings were obviously from people asking way too much money (no bidders). Not much of a helpful reference.

Jeff Donald · July 30th, 2004, 10:13 AM

If you check the completed sales for the last 30 days, you'll see several bids for around $1000 USD. The sellers are usually looking for around $3000, but can't get it. If you're looking for $3000 it may take some time (or luck). However, if you start your auction at $1000 with no reserve, (you'll have to sell to the highest bidder) you should get around $1,500 for the package.

Really?! Wow, I thought I would be lucky to get $500 for it.

Hey guys,

Due to the fact that my wife and I just put an offer in on a new home, I have to sell my Xl1S. I'd hate to part with it but I want to make sure I have the cash for any unexpected expences. so with that said here is some more information on the camera and extras:

I purchased this camera from Kent Metschan one of the members of this board around 7 month ago. so I am the second owner. here is some qoutes from marks original sale to me.
-----------------------
"everything it came with (mint manual, remote, strap, lens, battery, etc."

"I have a Porta Brace Traveler bag that cost $275 new that I'll throw in"

"The camera is in prestine condition with not even 1 scratch. I have and will only use Panasonic PQ tapes in it. This camera was purchased from Zotz digital one of the site sponsors."
-------------------------

all of this is still true, everything is in mint condition and i continued to use the PQ tapes with this camera.

I only ended up using this camera on two very short projects and my next one isn't sceduled till some time next year, so this is the perfect time for me to sell it.

here is what is included:

-Mint XL1S with all original parts and excessories
-Blue Porta Brace Bag (it's a bit dusty but in exellent shape)
-Vidpro TT-1000 Remote control tripod (these tripods are light weight not professional grade, but they come in handy!)
-Mint MA-200 XLR w/
-CH 910 Duel Battery Charger

I'll even Throw in a small lighting package: four lights with stands that come in it's own carring case. purcased off of ebay for $150.00. perfact for when you just need alittle extra lighting and don't want to bust out the big guns. (please note, i havent used this kit in awhile and a few bulbs may need replacing)

Also incuded as an extra bonus is 25 Blank DVD-R's with standard DVD cases (sealed). I have more of these for sale in anothr post if anyone is interested.

O.k well I haven't really thought about pricing because this is kind of a last minute thing so for the time bieng, If your interested please email me krismallory@gmail.com and make me an offer.

Kris.

Oh yeah, I can send pictures to interested parties. also i will do escrow through escrow.com (an ebay company) if you like. it's much safer for the buyer. however this is at the buyers cost. thank you.

Jeff Donald · July 30th, 2004, 03:57 PM

There are people bidding $1000+ on ebay for similar systems.

Mark Argerake · July 31st, 2004, 07:50 AM

Kris - Good luck with the new home. Sorry to see you have to sell.

Kristopher Mallory · August 2nd, 2004, 04:24 PM

thanks everyone, the camera is now sold.

Charles Papert · August 3rd, 2004, 09:44 AM

My trusty XL1s is ready to go out the door. It's in fine condition and comes with all the standard bits, except for the original charger which has been replaced with a dual Sunpak, which works great; and of course it doesn't come with a lens. If you find a good deal on a manual lens, this is a great way to go (you aren't paying for the white lens if you don't need it).

I'm asking $1950. Please email me with questions, offers, etc. Thanks.
