We've had two people contact us looking to sell old equipment.
From Wayne Buck LaCrescent [Contact info redacted - See original email for details]
I have been collecting old cameras for quite a few years - and think its
time to share . Do you know of any club member who might be interested?
Must be nearly 100 and most are functional

From Peggy Koenig
I am downsizing and have two Pentax K1000 cameras, plus various lenses,
filters and accessories that I would like to sell to someone who is
interested in film photography. All items are in good/very good
condition; ultimately to be determined by a film camera enthusiast. Both
cameras were serviced by Eric Hendrickson some years ago and will need
servicing again. I am not interested charging a lot of money for any of
this equipment, just a fair deal for both myself and the buyer. If
anyone in your organization is interested in purchasing these items
please pass along my email for further discussion. Please note that I
would prefer to sell everything as one lot rather than as individual
pieces. If you would like more information please do let me know.
Thank you,
La Crosse
