A1 35mm like new with 5 lenses. Any value? What do I do with it

[KFriedel]

I have my fathers old camera and all the lenses.   manuals and all.   What do I do with it?   Any value to selling it?  if so where?  if not, what do I do with it???  Hate to throw away something like this but I have no use for it.  Not much of a camera buff.

"I'm ok with doing some "work" to sell or do whatever with this equipment."

KEH is a choice and it will be easy but you will not get anywhere even close to what little your gear is worth.

Where abouts (NOT your address) roughly are you located please?

[ebiggs1]

Me?  Kansas, USA.

Aploogies Ebiggs1, I forgot to identity to whom my query was directed.   I hope the winter there is being kind to you!

I was trying to find out where KFriedel i locatd!  If it was practical to do so I might be interested in buying his old gear.  I used to work with Canon A1s back in the 1980s, and although I have long since disposed of them for my gorwing museum of Canon gear!  I would be interested in purchasing the set, if it was in good condition and practical to do the transaction.  Knowing where (roughtly) KFriedel is would be helpful.

Try sending the other party a PM, Personal Message, through the forum.  Can you see a red envelope icon at the top right?

Hi Waddizzle!  Thank you for your kind and helpful suggestion.

 I had actually tried to do that earlier but I could not find any trace of it later when I looked.  Perhaps I breached the protocols by encllsing personal information in the private post - I included my email address in the PP.

Hi Tronhard!

We don't read your private messages, just the ones that are posted publicly. We do remove personal information when it's posted for the world to see (for your protection), and we obviously encourage you to use discretion when disclosing personal information in private.

We hope this helps!

Hi Stephen:

First of all, thank you for your very helpful explanation!

So if I sent a PP to this gentleman with my email address it should have been OK.  Is there any reason why I could not see it somewhere later?

cheers: Trev

Hi Trev!

If you sent a message, you should be able to see it in your "Sent Messages" tab. You should see a red envelope icon at the top right corner of your screen. Click there, then look for the "Sent Messages" tab. If you don't see it there, you might not have sent the message by mistake. There's no harm in re-sending it if you don't see it there!

We hope this helps!

Hi Stephen

Ah yes, I have found it.  I'm a bit challenged with seeing things well as I have cataracts (that I hope to have removed soon) and the icon was a bit small.  Yep, my message is there, so the ball is in the recipient's court!

Appreciate everyone's patience and help.

cheers:  Trev
