What do I do with Sony UVW-100s? at DVinfo.net

Wade Spencer · November 20th, 2006, 10:28 AM

Gah.

I work for a small company called Kingdom...most of our business is selling audio/video related products to the church market, but we also have a small video production department (me) and a Protools audio studio as well.

I produce everything from training videos to inspirational videos to commercials.

We own three Sony UVW-100 betacams that have pretty much been left in the dust since we got the HD100s. What do I do with these things? They don't even get bids on ebay when listed for 1200-1500....what are they worth? 700?

Anyone else been in a simliar situation with older cameras like this? What did you do with them? They do me no good sitting upstairs...even if I got 700 apiece out of them, that would buy me a new Luma monitor....

Any help or advice would be appreciated!!

I see winning auctions on ebay for the UVW-100 end at around $1200 all the time. Maybe your listing needs some fiddling with?

Thanks Ben, but I worded that wrong. I haven't actually listed ours yet...I look up them up quite frequently and view 'completed listings'...I haven't seen hardly any sell.
