Default Where do you get your used gear from?

I never seem to be able to find what I want on eBay, just wondered if anyone used other forums or other places to buy/sell used gear?

My hubby gets mine from ebay. He just waits until the seconds almost runs out and then gets in quick with the final bid!

For new kit I find Amazon the cheapest.

I purchase quite a bit on Ebay. I'm careful who I buy from tho. Only those that have good ratings.
Also Adorama has a section to buy used equipment. Looks like they have some pretty decent deals from time to time

I have had very good luck at digitalgrin.com and nikoncafe.com as well as craigslist. The advantage of craigslist is that you can see and touch the stuff before you buy it. I avoid e-bay as that is usually where you end up with problems. People on the other foroums that are not able to sell something for whatever reason go to ebay to dump it.

Hai,
I have found that happiness comes from being very grateful for all that I have been able to have in the form of support. This can be a relationship with a girl friend, boyfriend, parents and the list can go on. Just to be thankful for life is one of the ones that I have come to acknowledge and respect as being very valuable.
