Want to sell C400

[YannickDesmet]

Hi guys,

I'm living in Belgium and I would like to sell my Canon C400 camera.
I've started to take notice that this will be very difficult.
Would someone be able to recommend me where I could sell this online?

Asked MPB, but their pricing is off the charts. I think they are crazy.
Also asked where I bough it and they offered me 2500euro (like come on please)

I guess your choices are:

• Ebay
• Local dealer who buys second-hand kit (in the UK there are loads e.g. Wex, LCE: assume there must be some in Belgium?)
• MPB etc.
• Other online marketplace e.g. Facebook

EBay / Facebook come with the attendant hassles of time-wasters and scammers. You’ve already rejected MPB so local dealer? Odd that the MPB price was so low though, there’s a like new one on their UK site for £5749 - that’s a lot of margin (unless yours is trashed ).

Their mark up tends to be a about 40% in the UK (that of course allows for VAT, postage and warranty). WEX and MPB seem to offer the same price in my experience. I've sold over eBay with no problems and very satisfied customers, but I then found it easier to take a slightly lower price with less hassle from MPB. But eBay is now more competitive as they have lowered their fees.
