Sell your RED

[victor1456]

Wanted to buy a RED camera. Why rent your camera when you can make a substantial profit on its sale and still get what you would have earned in rentals over the next 6-12 months, by which time RED cameras won't be rarer? Let's do a deal whilst you have market forces in your favor. Immediate cash buyer. Will travel anywhere in the world to personally do the deal. Please - not interested in reservations. You must have a camera now. Genuine buyer.

[Paul Hazlett]

Can't blame you for trying, but this is like trying to buy crack from a crackhead

[Seung Han]

Pull up the collars on your trenchcoat, you are now entering the RED MARKET...:shiftyph34r:

[Tonaci Tran]

Please - not interested in reservations. You must have a camera now. Genuine buyer.

FYI, reservations are non-transferable.

[Rick Darge]

What's your price?

[ericyoung]

FYI, reservations are non-transferable.

I think he wants to buy one of the cameras that have shipped, not a reservation.

[Greg Syverson]

If I would have been smart or a gambler, I would have bought the first 50 and then sold them. But then again my 401k is in the negative.

I will take the safe route let everyone else try it first and them buy

what if expected earnings are around $35k to $50k in the next few months?

[Shawn Nelson]

I don't think you're likely to get a buyer in the first few hundred shipments, but by the time Red's 200-600 ship you could probably get one. I'm kicking myself that I didn't reserve 3, one to sell and two to keep!

[Ivan G]

Hey Shawn, not to change the subject but I assume you got your RED. How about some footage!! :biggrin:

[Shawn Nelson]

No, it's supposed to ship to me tomorrow'ish (fingers crossed). See the thread 26-50 for more commentary. I should have it by Wednesday, maybe next weekend I can post.

Do you think I'd be posting here if I had my Red? :-)

[victor1456]

I you have a camera please give your web site link and we'll discuss?

[victor1456]

I'm being asked how much I would pay for a RED for immediate delivery. For a fully optioned camera, I'll pay twice your purchase price. If you're a hire company that's 12 months rental. In that time you could have bought another one and had it delivered.

[Andy Fordham]

twice your purchase price ? wow, i wish !

Now thats put a value on someones first camera ! any takers ?

[Joel Kaye]

I'm being asked how much I would pay for a RED for immediate delivery. For a fully optioned camera, I'll pay twice your purchase price.

Someone's gonna take that deal.

[Chuck T.]

Will do the same pay 2X for any 1 to 250.

[Rick Darge]

Damn..another reason I should have reserved 5 cameras in April 2006. haha

[Kevin Halverson]

Well this is certainly turning out to be an interesting thread.

[Michael Schrengohst]

I hear $35,000 for a RED One Body -
can it get $37,500 -
Thank You gentleman in the corner
wearing the Universal Pictures cap -
And now can we get $40,000??
Where is my $40,000 -
Thank You - Mr. Rodriguez....
OK, can I get $42,500???????

[Tonaci Tran]

I'll sell you mine for the price of an f23. haha

[Rick Darge]

How much is an f23?

[Tonaci Tran]

Estimates are 180,000-200,000. :blink:
For that much, I would put in for another order..make that two reds hehe and wait until 08 delivery.

I'm being half sarcastic as there is sooo much I want to shoot with this camera that it is sorta priceless.

[Rick Darge]

I hear ya Tonaci. My girlfriend keeps asking, "What's your price?"

Nothing! This camera will be buried with me! It's a historical heirloom in my book. The first incarnations of the Red-empire.

Jesus though, 180-200!!! For a 1080P camera!! Burn Sony Burn!

[Curran Giddens]

I wish I had made my reservation a week or two earlier.

[Kevin Halverson]

Why would anyone pay $180k - $200k for a camera now?

This seems like an absurd price as one could hire (rent) a RED and at the same time place an order and end up having the continuous use of a camera for a fraction of the cost of a F23.

The only thing that might make any sense would be if someone were going to do a bit of destructive reverse engineering, but even then, they would just hire and then claim the camera destroyed and pay off the claim.

[Michael Schrengohst]

Yes, why? Well some in the industry are still poo-poo ing
RED and trying to convince the elite crowd that the RED
workflow is just not worked our yet. That is so funny!
The RED has been out 10 days. I saw a thread where
a rental house said they could do a full 2 week rental
of an F23 for only $14,000... i think that was everything
including the HDCAM SR deck you need to record to.
I would love to see a test shot side by side
of RED vs. F23 and a workflow to get down to the
same product.

[Billy Summers]

You'd have to pay me alot more than "double" for good ol' lucky #13...
This shit is history.
It's gonna be like one of the first Leica's: "V-A-L-U-A-B-L-E"...with a capital "V"

Not to mention how sick it is ...now that I have it

[chuck colburn]

Billy,

What's wrong with your camera?

[Billy Summers]

It's too DAMN GOOD ...for the rest of the world!

[Sean R.]

I think he meant sick as in:http://www.hawaii.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/Shaka2[1].gif not::sick:

Coolio,
I'll check it-

[Finner]

Double seems like a really good deal. If I was under 250 I would jump on that.

[Jaime Vallés]

Totally. I keep kicking myself for not having placed an order immediately, and then a second order at the close of NAB. Sell the first, and the second camera would be free! :angry02:

[Emanuel A.]

Do you think I'd be posting here if I had my Red? :-)LOL

Same feeling here. After one year and a half. Don't expect to post here so often after the release, for sure. :)

[Jeff Kilgroe]

If you don't mind a moderate speed FTP upload, I'll host anything you want to share. PM me if you want login info.

[Jason Francois]

Too bad, I'm in the 300's. I could sell mine and buy another, which would be ready for me on my next feature.

Damn, bad luck....never got more than three numbers on a lottery ticket either. :)

[dino g]

i think the buyer is jim, kind of getting all willy wonka on us!!!

i am keeping my everlasting gob-stopper FOREVER!!!!

Man, I would have been the stupid son-of-a-bitch that sold that thing to Wadsworth. :) Well, maybe not.

[Andrew Benz]

LOL

Without a doubt...:construction: Though there are a few people I will keep up with from here.

So far, the "pay double" would not happen here if I had a high number ( I have pre-sells in the air for much more than that, it will be very interesting to find out how all will shake out for real). Though if I had two... different story. How else am I gonna get one of these Arri Ultra Prime T2.8/8R lenses?

[Mark Thorpe]

How else am I gonna get one of these Arri Ultra Prime T2.8/8R lenses?Well there are ways to pay for this lens Andrew, whether they're legal or not is another matter.....:ph34r:

[Andrew Benz]

Well there are ways to pay for this lens Andrew, whether they're legal or not is another matter.....:ph34r:

lol... Trust me Mark, I have been weighing my options :pinch: :) ... But I feel if just a couple more things go my way I will have one hell of a EFP/Docco Shooter's package (canon s16 zoom, skater mini...) in the next six months to a year--- with a great cine package right out of the gate. I am really glad where i fell in the que.

Congrats again Mark on your new job, I look forward to seeing your work, very cool...

[Mark Thorpe]

Cheers Andrew, best of luck too with everything, sounds like you're on the way...

[Rick Darge]

It's funny how almost everyone here wishes they invested in a few more Reds.. including myself.. I kicked myself in the face after the reservations closed and Jim announced the $2500 coupon.

[Mark Thorpe]

I tried kicking myself in the face but seeing as my feet face the wrong way I kicked myself in the ass instead......same result I guess!

[Jeremy Teman]

Sounds like you have to take a yoga class

[Andrew Benz]

Mark is a Bikram master... :biggrin:

[Mark Thorpe]

Mark is a Bikram master... :biggrin:yeah, you should see it when I try picking my nose! brings tears to my eyes.....:ohmy:

[Andrew Benz]

yeah, you should see it when I try picking my nose! brings tears to my eyes.....:ohmy:

... and it brings tears to my eyes when I think that your not using your hands or your feet.. but then again... you are the Bikram Master.:sarcasm:

[bradvr]

But I have a HVX-200 for sale? How about a couple of Z-1's? BH

[Chris Stout]

>>>i think the buyer is jim, kind of getting all willy wonka on us!!!

Holy crap, that's funny...
