Loving hearing your best bargains! 📷 it's the best feeling ever isn't it? Haha
-
+1 for misspelt names or model numbers, or listings where the actual model in photos doesn't match the title. This happens on all the major online used camera sites.
-
Lots of people have bargain hunting and thrifting videos. Not many of them are actually this useful and entertaining!
-
I found your vlog informative. I always learn new things from them!
-
My best ever bargains are from 2008 or earlier. I bought a Leitz 90mm f/4 lens made for the Leica CL at a country show for the change I had in my pocket, and found a Minolta 50mm f/1.4 for £26.95 when they were going for about £150, but the lens came with a Minolta SRT101 body!

Some great advice! Always enjoy!
-
Such a great video with really useful advice made by an obviously incredibly savvy and smart content creator! Kudos
-
I love your different take on what is really supply and demand when it comes to price.
-
This is true information GOLD! Thanks for posting!
-
Sooo cool! Very helpful infos!
-
Great video! Really helpful tips even to a seasoned shopper!

My best bargain was the Fujifilm X-E1 with some minor cosmetic flaws, with a mint condition XF 18-55 f2.8-4 for about 37 £. When I contacted her about the sale, she asked if I by any chance also was interested in the XF 60mm Macro for 37 £, so I ended up with the body and 2 mint lenses for 74 £. I also got the Fujifilm X-M1 for 30 £, and I love that little thing 😊

Excellent! Thanks for your thoughts.
-
Great points as always Emily! Honestly I’ve found just checking price lowest to highest on places like MPB and eBay as I have my morning coffee a great way to snipe some bargains!
-
A goldmine of useful tips. Thank you. I bought my two favourite lenses 2nd hand: Voigtlander Nokton 25mm (M43) f/0.95 and LEICA DG 12-60/F2.8-4.0. The prime is perfect and the Leica has cosmetic 'wear & tear' but they would have cost me a 2nd mortgage new. The Leica is a brilliant workhorse lens. I have not visited Bygone times for years so I will drop in sometime (and maybe bump into your good self 😂)
-
This is very useful sharing for us, while our budget is low but also want to find and try more. Thank you very much again, keep going!
-
The was one of the best videos. I learned so much. Now lets see if i can do it!
-
Pure Gold on your channel, many thanks. 😊
-
Damn this was so informative and useful!!! You really taught me a lot about eBay and buyee! I love Japanese cameras and equipment they really do take care of their cameras there!
-
Some seriously good advice there. Thanks. I wasn't sure about Buyee, but I'll give it a try now with something small and pink, gold, or orange even!
