[smoke665]

Local party has the following for sale.

1. Neewer studio Lights
   3 x 250w
   2 x soft boxes
   umbrellas ,barn door, gels, and wireless trigger
   Set of flash stands with umbrellas and flash shoes
   4 x Sand bags
   Backdrop support system with chains for 4 backdrops
   3 Backdrops 2 x are 10 x 20 and a 10 x 10
   2 drops
   Studio chair
   Memory Cards, Clamps, set of flash triggers

Not that old, still has all the boxes, instructions, etc. Any idea of what would be a good price for all of it? Or would it even be worth exploring, as I have no experience with Neewer???

Neewer seems to be in the "Decent MiC" quality range. A good price would be $100... A reasonable price, assuming it's all in good working condition, and that the ancillary items (lightstands, clamps,etc) are of similar quality, would be between $600 - 750.

FYI
The Neewer studio light kit (gels, trigger, barndoors, softboxes, stands, etc) are $255ish new

then the backdrop system etc can vary greatly depending upon quality.

Wait... are those strobes or continuous?

He's asking $550 for all, but hasn't moved it yet. So would anything under that be good?

You know he didn't specifically say, but included in the package are flash triggers, so I assumed strobe.

strobes when I searched .. here's an example of the $255. they don't seem to be in stock in other places so probably is discontinued. ==> Jet.com - Prices Drop As You Shop

here's one in Canadian of $370, so about 276 USD ?

Looked at those as well, but don't anything about the company

For $550 you'd better ask for the specific model # and stuff.
Hey may be trying to get out of it what he bought everything for.

 

[tirediron]

I'd say offer $450 and see what he says, and be ready to go up to $500. With the posing stool, backgrounds, etc, that's another couple of hundred dollars even for cheap MiC s**t.

 

[astroNikon]

wow, there's some low prices (and probably quality) stuff out there.
posing stool $50
3 wall backdrop system w/chains $60
4 wall backdrop system w/chains $120

and backdrops are .. how cheap do you want to go. cheap 10x20 muslins (two 10x20 for $60 is a example)

I love the christmas background that I see out there. A bit easier to store than all real stuff.
