FS - Father's Nikon Collection

[lotusguy]

Hello, my Name is Jim McFadden and I have been a member of the Lotus Forum here on Pistonheads for several years. My Father was an avid Collector of Nikon equipment for years, in fact, more a Collector than an actual Shooter.

Unfortunately, my Father passed away a couple months ago at the age of 80. Now, I am looking to liquidate his Collection as I am not a Photographer and my Mother wishes to sell the equipment and frankly can use the money. I will probably turn to eBay eventually, but since the Digital Revolution, not only have prices dipped considerably, but there seems to be little demand. Rather than pay the eBay fees for items that may not even sell, I first thought I’d post a list of the equipment here to see if anyone was interested. This will maximize the return for my Mother. All the equipment (unless otherwise stated) is a strong 8.5-10 condition with many items new in the Box.

I am an eBay Registered User with 100% Positive Feedback on over 100 Transactions. Everything I sell is always as described or better. I have a PayPal account for easy payment and will accept Money Order or Check. Will ship Worldwide. Look over the List and contact me at: [e-mail] to see a pic or make an offer. Thank you for looking.

Sorry to hear about your Dad Jim.

Might I suggest you send exactly that post to Grays (The Nikon Spoecialist in London)

www.graysofwestminster.co.uk/index.php

They are the blokes that know!

Echo Steve's thoughts and his Grays suggestion.

Sadly, the items may not be highly desireable but there are some specialists out there. I wonder if flea-baying might get some yank interest or something, though?

I'd echo Steve's suggestion of Grays - they are the ones that would be able to give you a good steer. I think the F3 HP with MD4 would be of interest to a collector, esp as it has so little use.
