CptSlevin Posted November 20, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 20, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello everyone. Forgive me in advance if that question was already asked, but I didn't manage to find any topic. I want to sell semi-used Summilux 35 / 50mm Asph. versions and Zeiss 21mm Unfortunately, I couldn't find any decent commissionary store in Russia, only option is to sell them to people, but it can take a lot of time. So, are there any effective ways to sell them in Europe? I have all the paperwork, boxes and stuff Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted November 20, 2018 Share #2 Posted November 20, 2018 Haven't you access to ebay ? Or, here in the Forum there is a Buy&Sell Section. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have access to E-bay, but in Russia the post service is a tricky one (I wanted to write shitty) That's why I wanted to travel to Europe and sell to the store.

Peter Kilmister Posted November 20, 2018 Share #4 Posted November 20, 2018 Just to clarify, the 'Buy&Sell Section' is at the top with the title 'Classified'. I have used it very successfully. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kilmister Posted November 20, 2018 Share #5 Posted November 20, 2018 @CptSlevin Further to my earlier reply, if I can help at all by acting as an intermediary then please feel free to contact me by DM (Direct Message). Our postal system is the oldest in the world and works very well. The stuff that arrives can be 'shitty' but that's another matter. 😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted November 20, 2018 Share #6 Posted November 20, 2018 Most dealers in Europe will buy for cash but you'll probably get the least return, as the dealer then has to sell them on for a profit and provide a warranty. Some dealers will take your gear and sell it on a commission basis. They charge something like 20% of the sale price for this. You get paid after they've sold them.

jaapv Posted November 20, 2018 Share #9 Posted November 20, 2018 I can recommend Meister Camera (Leica Store Berlin) for fair prices -you'll never get as much as in a private sale but you are rid of all the hassle- and correct handling of the sale. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meister Camera in Hamburg is also fantastic. I sold my M6 through them. It was a breeze. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kilmister Posted November 20, 2018 Share #14 Posted November 20, 2018 Probably the reason so many Leica dealerships have disappeared in recent years is the high levels of VAT (Sales tax) applied to new equipment. Used equipment is subject to different VAT rules. Bizarre, but it costs dealerships and makes profit very difficult. Recently I spotted a Leica shop in Porto. We went in and they were charming. They are the last remaining shop in the whole of the Iberian peninsular. How sad is that? They have to sell new equipment with 23% VAT added to the base price. No shops in Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Burgos, Malaga, Lisbon, or any of the rich cities. Last bastion in Porto. Ho sad is that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On their website they do not advertise the second-hand material, but I can tell you that it is one of the most stocked stores in Europe. telephone (+34) 91 539 7490 - 91 467 6491. In Spain, VAT is "only" 21%, not for 2nd hand. regards chema 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
