CameraGAS.com: 'Gear Acquisition Syndrome'
I've almost missed this, what with my illness and all, but you still
have a few days left to post items for sale for free on the web's
newest auction site dedicated to photographers. CameraGAS.com is an
eBay substitute that is sworn to keep fees low, security high, and to
fight hidden nickel-and-diming.
Security is a big issue. eBay tries to keep fraud as quiet as
possible, of course, but the 'Cameras and Photo' area of eBay has one
of the highest rates of fraud on all of eBay, and hence all the Web.
Plus, as you might know, there are so many little charges on eBay
that by the time the smoke has cleared, sellers have usually paid
better than the proverbial pound of flesh for the privilege of using
the service. CameraGAS intends to charge a straight $5.00 fee for
transactions, with no add-ins and pile-ons.
You do have to register, and the site is still small (it just got
underweigh recently). Head over and take a look—and if you have
something to sell, you can still list it for free until I believe the
15th or so.
Oh—and spread the word. The more people know about the site, the
better it will be.
