Market for enlargers - ??
Hi All,
I have an Omega B66XX enlarger that I used in the early '80's for a few years. It is in perfect condition and has all the original parts. It was great fun and a beautiful piece of equipment. I am cleaning out storage and I would like to find it a good home. With the digital age the market for this stuff all but I know there are still some real darkroom craftsmen out there. My questions are - what should I expect to get for it? And where to try to sell it? Here is one good place I'm sure. I tried eBay and got one bid for 99 cents. Craigs List is another I suppose but if anyone has any other suggestions or advice I do appreciate. Thanks and Best, Vic (please reply to my email too) |

Thanks and Best, Vic (please reply to my email too) Unfortunately, it's highest value is probably as a boat anchor. My Super Omega is up in the attic, taking up space. There must be millions of them out there looking for a good home. If you want to get some fulfillment out of losing it, I'd suggest you donate it to a youth center or school or something and then volunteer to teach a couple of workshops on how to use it, so the kids can get some use out of it. |

To anybody with an un-needed enlarger or darkroom equipment
If you have found it hard to sell and gotten ridiculous offers for it - Consider the Tax advantages of Donating it to the Cape Coral Art Studio The studio is non profit and serves the Citizens of Cape Coral and Lee County Florida, it ofers photo, digital photo, darkroom and children's photo classes. It has a limited budget for photo equipment and darkroom equipment so donations are welcome You will receive an official receipt that is acceptable to the IRS documenting your donation. This way you can do a good deed and still get some value out of your old equipment If you are interested, please email me I will give you all the contact info so you can check this out, see it is not a scam and arrange your donation Thanks "hockeybik" wrote in message ups.com...
