		Thanks to   paulbtlw I sold my Canon 7D to MPB Photographic in Brighton.
 They were really excellent in every way and would not hesitate to recommend them. |

		Agreed. They are very good and the best prices on second hand stuff i've found in the UK. I recently part exchanged my Nikon 24-70mm 2.8 along with a few other bits for a mint Nikon d700. It's an excellent lens but not really my style. I also got my Nikon 85mmm 1.4 from them a year or so ago.
 
 The other shop i use is Ffordes who i like for older, manual focus lenses. Just the last couple of days i got a Nikon 50mm 1.4 ais from them very cheap as it had a damaged filter thread which i don't mind at all as i rarely use filters. |

		Thanks for the heads up Neil. I am seriously considering getting rid of my 7D and a few lenses. How was the transaction carried out?
 
 thanks
 Mike

 Speaking for myself i found the transaction very smooth. I emailed them a list of my equipment and they replied with a provisional price based on what condition i'd stated. They then sent a courier to collect it and replied with their price a couple of day later. I got the camera in exchange by courier the next day. Splendid service i thought. |

		You'll get the best deal using Ffordes commission sales - they give you 80% of the sale price once the equipment is sold, this nets you more money than selling the equipment to a reseller. You obviously have to wait for your equipment to sell to get your money.
