Re: FSF: Pentax O-GPS1 & more
Darren, what are the income and sales tax rates in your corner of the world? I loosely followed the strategy you've outlined back in the early days of eBay. In my case I bought and sold lenses and cameras. Any loss I considered as the cost of my having "rented" the item for whatever period of time, amortized over the number of images I had shot with said equipment. Any profit went toward an equipment upgrade. I seriously considered buying/selling for the income rather than for my own use, but then I would have needed to get a vendor-tax ID from the state, keep proper records for the State and Federal income taxes, etc. More time investment and paperwork than could be justified by the likely income. Good luck with it! stan On Nov 8, 2013, at 5:28 PM, Darren Addy wrote: >> When using cash is your only option. Unless you know a way to get >> equipment for free.

Greetings all, I was so pleased with my first attempt to use my O-GPS1 for astrophotography that I have decided to jump in "whole hog" as we say here in Nebraska. In order to help (very partially) pay for my equatorial system I am selling my O-GPS1. You may recall that it was used to produce the subs for this image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/10299785464/ Selling the O-GPS that made the image you see above for $190 plus actual shipping charges (and will be happy to ship worldwide to PDML members). Comet ISON is inbound and set to put on a show, so its a great time to snag this one and see what a cool piece of engineering it really is. - - - In addition, I have: EXC Pentax-A 135mm f2.8 VG Pentax-A 35-105mm f3.5 macro (the legendary "stack-o-primes") EXC Pentax-M 135mm f3.5 Pentax MX with M50 f1.7 and Minolta Maxxum (Sony Alpha) AF 24mm f2.8 with original caps and case (EXC) -- Nothing is sure but death and Pentaxes. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
