UPDATE: Most items are in the process of being sold, and as soon as orders go through, each item posted here will be updated. If you have made an offer, but haven’t heard back, hang in there. If a sale doesn’t go through, there’s still a chance of getting an item- but we will be in touch with you if this is the case.
Hey guys,
Drew here. You can only begin to imagine the amount of photo gear Joe’s collected over the years..so it’s time to let a few things go, and hopefully some of you can get some great use out of Joe’s old (or new) gear.
Some is basically brand new, and has never been touched, and other gear has been out on the road for some time. We priced everything based on web prices we’ve researched and averaged- then in most cases, went a bit below, as to make these a bit more enticing. Everything listed here is in good, working order, and has been tested- though a few have minor issues, which are listed below.
Being that we have a pretty sizable community here, it seems as though doing this here on our blog makes the most sense.
PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE GUIDELINES:
- Any and all questions should be asked in the form of a blog comment. Emails should be reserved solely for those interested in purchasing an item. This makes it much easier to keep track of inquiries, and ensures that we’ll get back to you in a timely manner.
- If you’d like to purchase an item, please send an email to [email protected]. The subject line MUST read the item # and name (“2- Nikon 20mm f/ 2.8”). The body of the email should just list the price you’re offering, followed by your name and phone #. ($600, Mike Cali, 858-555-1212).
- We’re doing our best not to treat this like an auction, as we think the prices we’ve set are very fair, and in-line with the current value. However, if you’d like to make a reasonable offer on any piece of gear, you’re obviously welcome to do so. If a price listed isn’t met, but we receive a high enough price to sell the item, whoever submits the highest offer gets the item.
- Once someone submits an offer that is the same as what we’ve listed on the blog, and the sale is processed, the item will be updated/removed from the blog post.
- If we don’t sell a particular item within 7-10 days, whoever submits the highest offer gets the item. However, If we don’t get an offer that deems a sale to be worthwhile, we reserve the right to not sell any item.
- ALL shipping will be done through FedEx (it’s what we use and trust), and buyer pays shipping and insurance (which is recommended). We’re not responsible for any damage that may incur en route, so insuring a package for it’s declared value is essential.
- You must have a FedEx account #, which can be set up very easily on their website.
- NO international sales will be accepted. Hate to have to do this, but it adds a whole lot more work on our end to be able to pull that off, so we unfortunately can’t do it.
- Payments must be made in full before we ship out any item, and will be processed through PayPal- with confirmed addresses ONLY. The buyer will be contacted with payment info.
- All sales are final.

I nearly wet my pants with excitement when I saw your post on my daily RSS. Shooting with one of Joe’s lenses may not make my images any better, but it will certainly inspire me to excel none the less.
How quickly are you turning around responses for buyers? I don’t want to get a case of “GAS” from ZArias, but I would like to resubmit for my second choice if my first is already sold… Cheers!
will the 18-105 auto-focus on a D5100 or D3100 (s)? I have a photo workshop client looking for a new camera outfit. Obviously Nikon is the way to go! : )
Hello, its great to have this, too bad is not International fans !!!
:(. So sad …
Regards
No international? That’s too bad because there’s some great gear and you know it’s going to be in good shape. I guess I’ll just have to wait until the Americans invade Canada. 🙂
Drew, Is the 8a battery pack compatible with the 900? Thanks.
$50 to rent Drew for a week?
When there are mutliples of an item, is the price given for all of them or for each?
Is the Nikon 18-105 a DX lens?
Drew, is the 8a battery pack compatible with the sb900?
Do you ship to Canada?
Is thT price for SB800 $320 each? Or for all 3?
Or does that go under International too?
Will Joe autograph the equipment! 🙂
320 each.
The price is for each.
I sent in a request although I didn’t think about it but for some reason my emails tend to go to junk— GoDaddy issue, I suppose— so I am not sure if my email went through.
Oh, the stories these flashes could tell! Do the flashes come with a letter of authenticity? 😉 If I owned a McNally flash, I would stroke it every night…the flash that is. 😉
J/K and having fun Drew.

wow! the Nikon 18mm f2.8 lens is rare!
Shame indeed about the international sales. I’d have bought the lot of the flashes at the least.
is there a shade for the 20mm (item #3) ?
Is Canada really considered international?
Unfortunately, Canada is considered international…sorry!
Michelle- YES, your email did go through.
Hi, I’m Jeff Snyder’s brother in law. Is the 35mm lens FX or DX format? Pardon my ignorance, but would it work well on a Nikon D7000?
Will we hear back from you via phone or e-mail? How long will it take to hear back if our e-mail offer/purchase was selected? I sent an e-mail with an offer for 2 SB600 at full price.
Thanks.
Looking at the description for item 2 (20mm f2.8), is the picture quality affected in any way?
I sent an email this morning about some flashes! Did you get it?
actually sent another email because I realized the offer I sent earlier was offensively low. Math issues today 🙂
So when should we expect to hear back for the items we expressed interest in purchasing?
Nikon SD-8a battery pack (3) – $80.00. Hi Joe! Good day to you. I just want to know if you’re selling those battery packs of yours 3 for $80 or $80 each? 🙂 Thank you please hit me back.
Why no international?? I’d happily pay the extra shipping 🙁
Joe, my biggest question is this: WHY? Just curious. I know Zack Arias made the switch to Canon. Anything we should know? Being a Canon guy myself, we’d be glad to have you on the team. LOL.
Seriously, just can’t figure out why you’d be selling so much, perfectly working, gear.
im sure we all have gear we could do without, ive been planing a sale for a while so maybe its time to get on it…
Great sale of stuff and I hope to pick up a lens. Can you give us an idea on when we might be hearing back on a sale (email already sent)?
Thanks,
Mike
Man, Joe’s gonna be chapped when he gets back and find his best stuff gone. You should’ve just said rent was due, Drew, we’d have passed the hat for you 🙂
If you have any equipment that does not sell and wish to donate that equipment to a high school photo class in great need of equipment (I have an average of 40 students for each of my 5 classes and 14 Nikon digital cameras to go around) we would be forever thankful. I know, I’m looking for a handout, but when it comes to my students, i’ll do whatever it takes to get them the equipment they need.
When will you be contacting the people whose offers have been accepted? I, too, am not sure if my email went through, as I have not heard anything yet.
Hey there. I’m interested in the SB600’s. Just wondering what postage costs to Australia would be? Cheers from Downunder.
I wish you shot Canon.
I wish people realised good photographer take good pictures. Not good cameras, Nikon, Canon, Pinhole it doesn’t matter!
Also If you were selling internationally th 18mm would have had a good offer on it!
Drew,
Just sent you another email (the previous one sent on 09/27) regarding the item I would like to purchase. Please get back to me.
Cheers,
Shaq
Are you quitting photography?
