Goodbye Old Friends
« on: June 27, 2008, 01:31:30 AM »
So I?ve been trying to save up for the 43mm lens for the mamiya 7 ii. However it?s taking too long so I started to look around the house for things to sell. And after great contemplating I ended deciding to sell 2 of my cameras my Polaroid 195 and my Yashica Mat 124-G. Both are really great cameras and work flawlessly. They are up on eBay if anyone wants to take a look. Thanks

-Here is the link to the Polaroid 195

Hi there, I appreciate where you're coming from with regard to this post (especially the hunger for a new setup...that's gets us all at some point), but we do try to keep Filmwasters completely free of any commercial activities. I know these are personal sales and as such not in the same league as someone posting here about their magazine or shop, but we like to steer clear of all of it if possible. We could have set the site up with ads and sponsorship etc., but we hate that stuff and wanted FW to be as much of an island of non-commercial purity (cough!) as we could make it.
 :)

Please don't take this the wrong way; I know you're a forum regular and we're delighted to have you here, so don't be discouraged or anything. We probably should write this non-commercial stuff down in the FAQ somewhere (I just checked and it ain't mentioned there even though I thought it was).

....and for what it's worth I hope you get top dollar for those cameras!  ;D

OK, I felt bad about telling Xander not to post auction links when there wasn't anything about that in the FAQ so I went and updated the FAQ. I still feel bad....but then that's my problem for being a hippy.
