Camera gear has to go - advice appreciated

[T4R]

Hi chaps and chapettes.
I was made redundant some time ago and, despite strenuous efforts, I’m finding it tough to secure alternative employment. I now need to try and forge a new career and to do so have to raise some money to buy some equipment which means selling my much loved camera and associated gear. I’d like to avoid eBay and wonder if anyone would be kind enough to offer some advice as to which publications, periodicals, websites I should place an advert.

If it is of any interest I have the following which has to go;

Nikon D300
SB-800 flash
MB-D10 battery grip
Sigma HSM EX F2.8 150mm Macro
Sigma Fquite-a.lot EX 50-500mm
Sigma F2.8 28-70mm
Nikkor ED F4-5.6 70-300mm

Any help/suggestions would be, as always, greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear of your situation, but try lokking in this thread: second hand sites? for recommended places offering second hand equipment. Some of those may either buy for cash or offer a sale-or-return policy? Worth a try? Good luck!

P.S. Or try listing items separately on Amazon (I find less hassle than ebay, but is costly to sell through there) or in PH classified section?

Sorry to hear about your circumstances Richard.

How much do you want for the D300? Feel free to PM me if you want

I was just posting on how to get a D90 bundle. I could be very interested in this. PM what you would like for the lot, with a breakdown of what you want for each and perhaps I might be able to buy it from you.

talk photography is the place to go to. Their "for sale" section is very active.

Well I just came on to ask where I could find a used D300 somewhere other than ebay, so feel free to PM a price too

TP have a minimum post limit before you're permitted to use the classifieds though.

Thanks very much for your responses and kind words. I'll PM those who requested, hopefully this evening, and following that I'll put an ad. on PH, once I've heard back from the PM'ers (Can I use that "word" ????).

Many thanks again.

ed. Removed TP reference due to their post limitations once I'd re-read MMs contribution.
