Ready to upgrade, where best to sell?

[Tim Buck]

I’m ready to get away from compact and move into micro 4/3 and am eying the OM-D E-M10 Mk IV and Backscatter/AOI housing with the AOI wide angle wet lens. I don’t do much macro (with my old eyes), so am not gonna get the “matching” close-up lens yet.

But before I can pull the trigger (shutter?), I have several compact bits I have to sell. I’ve been trying to list it all here on Scubaboard but despite several requests I still don’t have the secret handshake that unlocks the ability to list items in the forum’s Marketplace.

So what are my other options? I don’t do FB. Where else can I list underwater cameras, housings, and accessories? eBay?

You can list your items for sale here or Waterpixels.net.

I believe that you need to have a minimum number of posts on SB to be able to list things for sale. Perhaps 10 posts. Keep replying to this thread.

Good plan! I’d really rather offer the stuff here where I know it will be used and appreciated.

I hadn’t heard of waterpixels.net. Thanks!

OM-D E-M10 Mk IV

Why not the OM 5?

Ah! Thank you for that info. I’ll keep at it then.

Hey BoltSnap, sorry for the short reply. I was in the middle of watching the last F1 race of the season!

The more complete answer is the OM 5 is almost twice the price, the housings are more expensive, and at my ability level I don’t think the ROI is worth it for me. I want crisper images than I’ve been getting with my TG (although I’m sure most of my issues are poor brain to camera interface) but still need to keep it small for travel. I’m doing my best to adhere to KISS and “Simplify and add lightness” (which is why I’m using 2x MF2 strobes and leaving the 2x YS-D2J strobes at home).

AND truth be told, I’m a bit of a gear junkie. I seem to be always looking for the next cool thing. And I have all this underwater photo stuff laying around not being used… I hate to see it go to waste.
