Take a look at a new site dedicated to buying/selling camera equipment. It is an auction marketplace in the photography niche. Similar features as eBay although it offers 10 different payment gateways instead of just PayPal....although Paypal is an option. Also people can customize their own store fronts as well and upload items in bulk just like eBay. The best part is it is FREE! Absolutely NO FEES for anything mentioned above or anything else you use the site for. If you are looking for something not listed for sale, just add it to the Want Ad section and I suspect it will show up for sale. Check it out.... http://www.rutscameras.com If you like it please spread the word as the more users the more equipment available and the more money people will save from paying fees!

Tyler: yeah, there is still somewhat of a snobish feel to some of the smaller shops. Most people will vote with their wallets, like you did, if they get rubbed the wrong way in the store. It also really depends on the person asking the questions....hopefully those people looking to buy will be somewhat informed when they actually enter a store because they talked to friends or did their research online. There is pretty much no excuse these days to either put up with the snobbery or be a complete rube in the store. If you're looking at spending $100s or $1000s on gear, make sure you know what you're buying. Tyfn: always good to to talk to you!

I've had hit and miss with small shops having good customer service. Perhaps I look dumb or something but they never seem to be generally happy to answer my questions or offer solutions when I ask. Who knows, if that one place over on Broadway *cough* was nicer, I would have probably bought my last purchase there. $2300 would have looked nice on their sales sheet ;) Oh well, guess sales people are still somewhat sharky! Good tips!
