Things to consider when buying used camera equipment

Although one can save on discount cameras from sites like eBay, another way to fit photo equipment into one’s tight budget would be to find used or
second-hand cameras, lenses, tripods, cases and other stuffs. You will easily find these from photography enthusiasts who want to move on to newer models and sell their stuff immediately through the Internet. However, before you jump into this, consider the following: Seller's reliability
Try to find out about the credibility and reliability of the seller through his verifiable online reputation, the seller's online account and his membership in online forums. Try to find out if the seller is giving full disclosure of the condition and history of the lens of the other camera equipment that he is selling. Return policy
Ask if there is a return policy if you are not satisfied with your purchase. Warranty coverage is also ideal for a good purchase. Price
Think about the price. Sometimes, sellers will not give a big discount, especially if the item is in a good condition. You must consider if you will be able to
re-sell the lens for a good price later, when you want to get a new one.
