I placed a post on here regarding advice on selling a Cannon lens and it has been locked. If it breached some forum rules perhaps the mod that did so could let me know but assuming it doesn’t, any pointers for photog forums to sell lens?

Thanks for the reply hughsie but the photog section on here is virtually non existent - of the 41,000 items current advertised on PH classified only 2 are in photog!

TIA

best bet would be to put it on ebay to be honest, how much are you after for it?

I agree it doesn't get much footfall. The other choice is of course our dear friend Mr E Bay, or (again with lower footfall) www.ebid.co.uk. And maybe there are Canon forums with For Sale and Wanted sections? Nikonians has this for Nikon users.

Thanks both. I am a Minolta user so I know where to go for that but wasn’t sure if the Canon community had something similar. I suspect eBay is going to be the best bet.

Not sure what to ask for it Gary as it really is a couple of weeks old, MIB and unused. A friend visited the UK recently and bought it in Dubai on the way through. On tinterweb they are around £330. He had some other lenses too but I have only been asked to sell this one at the moment.

New 28-135 IS USM's go for around £200 on ebay, most of these are split from body & lens retail kits (plain non-Canon branded boxes).

The best bet would be to start it at £120 ish and see what it goes for!

It does appear to be a popular lens so should sell no bother.
