Do you have “extra” photo gear laying about taking up space? Maybe you are looking for a bit of ‘new’ gear at a great price? We have the event for you! Yes, it’s time once again to sell or swap your extra photography gear or buy new toys at the annual CIPNE Photo Bazaar and Swap Fest. At this free event sellers can set up tables where you’ll be able to show what you have to swap/sell. Swapping is a great win-win situation, so bring a list of what you want to get and what you have to give/swap.

Items available may range from inexpensive filters (a few dollars) all the way up to expensive studio lights and camera bodies + lenses ($1000+).

Sellers: **Please bring your own table.** Research beforehand fair market prices for your gear so they will be more likely to be sold. Consider bringing a friend to help you sell if you want to walk around and buy. In the spirit of cooperation, fairness, and goodwill, be forthcoming in indicating the true condition of gear, and any defects, when asked.

Buyers: Research beforehand fair market prices for gear that you want to buy (it’s also useful to bring along a B&H catalog for reference!). Bringing cash and checks are a good idea. Show a list of gear that you want to buy; maybe someone will know where it is available.

From a happy and successful previous seller:

“The first year I pulled some gear together at the last moment to sell, and with little thought. When I arrived, I barely had things out of the bags and people were already questioning me as to what I wanted for the items. I sold everything, and wished I had been more organized, started earlier -AND brought more items! Start preparing early!! The next year, I was more on top of things, and brought far more. I sold everything - once again; two old cameras, and old backdrop, filters, a broken photo umbrella, some gadgets that I barely understood, and on and on. If it had to do with photography, and I wasn’t using it - I sold it!“

Disclaimer: The CIPNE Photo Bazaar and Swapfest is organized and run under the spirit of cooperation and fairness. CIPNE and anyone associated with CIPNE is not liable for any swapping or selling transactions that result in any problems or issues. Participation in this event is under the doctrine of “buyer beware”.
