  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

[FS: RED Cameras] Red One MX for Sale $4900

I've never seen X-Y PL mount before? What's difference between X-Y PL mount and normal PL mount?
 
Yes, it is the same one. I had it repaired and it works perfectly now. The repair cost was more than I had anticipated so I am just trying to get my money back now.
 
Couple more questions, it was on ebay and taken off 7 days ago. In the mean time did you send it to red and have it repaired?
 
I didn't have Red do the repair and it took them around 4 days. Are you interested in the camera or do you just playing detective for some reason?
 
I don't mean any disrespect Ryan..... But if someone is about to drop 5K I would troll for all the info I could get lol!
 
A very short video with the camera that turns on, make the setup, and turn off, would be peace of mind for any buyer.

Good luck for your sale.

I agree it is good to have due diligence on a purchase. But, David's line of questions is insinuating that I am not telling the truth which I find disrespectful, and I doubt he has any interest in buying the camera anyway. If he was interested in the camera, but wanted to know about the repair, he could have private messaged me and I could provide him with an invoice I made for the repair and he could have called the repair shop for verification. It is simple.

Agreed!
 
I thought it would be considered proper etiquette to include information about repairs that had been done to the camera, especially if it was not by red. Obviously i knew it didnt work because i watched the ebay listing. But what about anyone else who didnt know? I doubt they would have private messaged you asking if repairs had been done... Sorry if you consider my questions disrespectful or untrustworthy, I in no way intended them to be.

No problem on the personal. I see it a bit differently considering the repairs. In my opinion, it would be like posting a car for sale and posting all of the repair work it has had. Sometimes people list repair work and most times people don't because they don't feel like it or want to be brief in their ad. I would have probably told them regardless if they contact me so I could tell them about the warranty on the service, but I don't think I should be obligated to put it in the ad. Sometimes, people just put 'Red One for sale, contact me' with no pictures or description or anything. How do you know they haven't had repair work or have any problems? People that are interested, contact them and find out what they need to find out. Anyway, all the best.
 
Transparency is key to a confident sale/ purchase. Making the buyer aware of EVERY detail is essential in my opinion, especially when your credibility is on the line. This is our profession here. This isn't a used car lot. Shady adds, shady sellers, and shady tactics should have no place on this forum. I'm not saying you are being shady, but I think it is very important that Leroy had spoken up here along with David. They are bringing up perfectly normal & logical questions of concern. They don't want anyone to get screwed over. Not saying you are trying to do that, as you said you had it repaired...but not by RED. Well, I think it is important you tell us about that in the open since there are some red flags that have been raised. In doing so that will help build confidence in the potential sale for you and confidence from the user base. Not saying that it is required for you to do so, but I think it would be a positive move on your part.

I've probably been scammed around 5 or 6 times on this forum over the last year. So I'm very critical and cynical when I it comes to dealing on here anymore. Simple truth. I think if you are a Reduser with a few years under your belt and at least a hundred posts that are outside of the market place and show productive sharing of ideas and mature communication skills then you have some credibility & a basic track record. But still I would ALWAYS ask for the complete history and condition of the item. And make sure it is all in writing so there's no miscommunication or fowl play.

Be careful guys. If it's to good to be true, it IS. Never do wire transfers without a legal binding contract - and always prepare to spend money on lawyers if you go that route with a non-track record seller. Also, NEVER pay for a repair yourself if it's agreed to buy the seller. Simply return the item for a full refund. I have learned that lesson the hard way. But Karma has definitely had my back!

Sorry to derail the thread.

Again, I feel that my sales approach it perfectly acceptable. To each his own. Going into every single detail about every piece of equipment in every listing would be a full time job for me...and I feel a waste of time for the most part. And, many people are more attracted to minimalist ads in my experience. I mention everything significant I can to a potential buyer directly when they are interested including providing them with all of my paperwork. I am not hiding anything about the camera. They asked if it was the same camera, I said it was and that I had it repaired and can furnish the paperwork...end of story in my book. I am sure you would find hundred of items for sale on Reduser if you went specifically asking around where it was not stated in the ad. Imagine someone was selling a car and someone else knew that the radiator had been fixed, but wasn't mentioned in their ad. An interested party would ask if anything had been repaired, they would say the radiator, ok great, end of story, no need to go on about it.

Good advice advise you are giving regardless. I have sold countless high ticket items on Reduser and elsewhere onilne, if I was doing anything shady I would have been kicked off a long time ago. I have an extremely favorable reputation from everyone I have sold items to...that said, I have also been scammed many times over the past 15 years and lot a lot of money in trying to buy items, and I have also done a lot to protect others if you look at my previous posts. All I ask now is that I be allow to sell the camera and talk with people that are interested in buying the item and get back to the purpose of my thread.
