Jeff sold three lenses and one camera — thanks, listeners!

our prodigious mailbag, including shots fired about the proper pronunciation of “Nikon”!

and now the main event: how to divest!

eBay, Craigslist, FaceBook Marketplace, and what to do when you fear people

the KEH option — in person at their Atlanta HQ, with their buyers when they come to your neighborhood, or shipping them gear for a quote? (there are similar protocols at Adorama, B&H and other online retailers)

local camera shops

the local film community: Beers and Cameras, meetups, etc.

ever had a bad experience as a seller?

the reseller’s creed: if you’re not using and enjoying an item, its value to you is not what you paid for it, nor what it might fetch on the open market… it’s zero

an alternate to selling: donating! The Film Photography Projects’s school donation program is great

Gabe’s sudden brainwave: an I Dream of Cameras Garage Sale! are y’all in?

another alternative: give a film camera to the new parents of a child or a puppy — or a gift for your date!

your IDOC photo assignment: shoot a portrait of a friend, shoot a portrait of a stranger — post on Instagram and tag us to be amplified!

’tis the season of giving, so why not check out our dazzling merch?
