F.A.Q



Q: How do I go about buying something from this site?
A:If you are local ( Washington DC metro/Northern VA), come see me, pay cash and pick it up.
If you are beyond driving distance you can pay me thru pay pal and I can ship it for you for an extra fee(2.9% paypal fee+ S&H). I normally ship priority mail with tracking, if you prefer another means would be happy to oblige.

Q: Why buy from me v/s some unknowner on ebay?
A: I procure the items from wholesalers and inspect and test each and very item, camera's for functions and lenses for optical quality. They only go up fo sale if and when I am satisfied that they will not give you a reason to be unhappy. I only sell photographic equipment and nothing more.

Q: Is all the equipment 100% problem free?
A: If there is any issue it shall be duely noted- from brassing and wear to scratches on glass that affects the image quality. There might be a few items from time to time that have a minor issue which will be clearly highlited and sold for a lot less.
