Re: Canon XF300 - as new
 

I have reduced the XF300 in another forums so I guess it's only fair that I do it here also.

It is now reluctantly reduced to £4100.

Re: Canon XF300 - as new
 

It is now a year old camera, that can be bought new - today- for € 4550. That amounts to £ 3924 on today's exchange rate. So, whichever way you turn it, you are still over asking. I can't imagine anyone paying a premium of around £ 200 for a one year old used camera with very limited warranty (due to its age) over a new one.

You may be lucky to get something like £ 3000 IMO and that might even be a stretch.

Re: Canon XF300 - as new
 

Over here in the UK it seems to be selling for £5500 to very near £6000, mostly nearer the £6000 end. That's nearing a 40% saving on the high end estimate which I would have though is reasonable.

I'm not saying you are wrong though Harm. I am still at the point where work has all but dried up and the camera represents a large investment that I am not sure I can justify much though I loath having to sell it. The lack of portability is a massive reason for it's lack of use. My tripod alone weighs 10kgs (but is a good/stable one)!

Re: Canon XF300 - as new
 

I think Andy may be a victim of UK taxing policy and exchange rates in this argument. Remember that Sterling is relatively weak, and we also have 20% VAT (sales tax) added to all our equipment, though businesses can normally claim VAT back.

Reputable UK dealers' asking prices for this camera are, including VAT

£5334 - Creative Video (CVP) (£4445 ex-VAT)
£5334 - ProAV (£4445 ex-VAT)
£5394 - Prestons (£4495 ex-VAT)

These are what I would term the "big 3" of UK video equipment.

In addition:
£5998 - Jigsaw: (£4999 ex-VAT) (Jigsaw are always at the top end of prices)
£5879 - Warehouse Express (they aren't really a Pro video supplier primarily)
Calument are similar in price.

If you search on Google Shopping, for example, you seem to be able to get the camera for £4100 approx. But closer scrutiny reveals this is from Hong Kong, with no UK/EU warranty I'm sure, and you're going to get screwed with import taxes and VAT on top of that, so it's not a valid comparison.

It's also not valid to compare it to B&H's list price, for example. B&H are great; but by the time I pay shipping, handling, excise and VAT, it costs at least the same as the UK, if not more, and it won't have a UK/EU warranty. I use B&H for equipment I just can't find in the UK.

I'm not sure about mainland-EU dealers, I don't know enough about how those taxes work. Harm, you won't find the camera for £3924 including VAT (even ex-VAT) at any mainstream UK dealer).

If this is a private sale, I presume it's not VAT exempt, which is why Andy is using the UK list price.

I can't buy a UK-sourced, brand new XF300, including proper warranty, from a reputable dealer, including VAT for less than £5300.

Example; my Sony NX70 camera is £2550 in the UK. It is $2800 in the USA. Exchange rates would suggest under £1800 if I bought the camera outside the UK, but it's just not that simple. We just do get screwed in the UK on purchases like this. Until you live here, you don't know how bad it can be!

For £5500 new, £4000 is probably not too bad used. My own personal, painful experience is that people tend not to get interested in used gear until it's half the price of the new item, which means somewhere in the upper £3000s for this model. Which is as depressing as hell!

Andy, given how long you have had this for sale, it does look as if either there's no interest in the camera, or it's too expensive.
