Red #142 For Sale?

[Clayton Harper]

YES, THE UNTHINKABLE. :ph34r:

So, right when I am all set to start working this camera in NYC, I book a two month out of town gig in Greece and Italy doing b-roll shooting and digitech work for a travel show shooting on multiple HVXs.

Unfortunately, it's not practical for me to take the Red given the current gear load and don't think I haven't thought about it.

That being said, I needed 142 to start making at least a little money out of the gate to stave off some cash flow issues associated with having just dropped 20K. Middle finger to all the producers who currently owe me a check :)

I am negotiating to place the camera with a rental facility in the city, most likely going with my pal Mark at Offhollywood. However, if someone comes along and makes it worth it, I am a rational, business-minded sort of man willing to part with the holy grail of digital movie cameras.

In any case, it's on Ebay this week but I will also accept direct offers. You can PM me or email me at red142@mac.com

Here's the auction link:

THAT would be the SMART move - if you are a LONG TERM thinker - like myself. See you in the Scratch suite tomorrow -

[Manfred Lopez]

Do you already have it in your possession? I have lost track on what serial number they are supposed to be on.

I do indeed. Have a look at the auction photos.

Ahh, the link is finally up. Will go there now. Thanks.

[Stephen Williams]

Hi,

I the high bidder at the moment!

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Hi,

I the high bidder at the moment!

No, I am. :bleh:

Anyway... Uh, sending a PM.

[Mark L. Pederson]

Don't do it Clayton ... a slow nickel is always better than a fast buck -

Don't worry, you can talk me out of it tomorrow when I see you. :)

[BASSAM MSSALATIE]

i have just put my bid .:sarcasm:
so between us (red Pals) what was the Reserve price :ph34r:
:biggrin: just joking

[Paul Hazlett]

i tried to get some juice going for you, on the bidding, but honestly, give it to Mark to rent until your return. Unless someone offers you 20k over what you paid I would hold.

Phaz, what's up buddy? I think we should get lit up again at the Hofbrauhaus in April. Are you going?

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Well, people are going nuts on this ebay auction.

If you truly don't want to sell it on ebay, I would cancel ASAP. An ebay auction is a legally binding contract for both buyer and seller. OTOH, if the auction finishes high enough, it may not be a bad deal. Just sell the camera and place an order for a new one.

[Ivan G]

Well, people are going nuts on this ebay auction.

I'm not surprised! It's worth every penny :w00t: Can you imagine who just found out about the RED ONE and can have it in 7 days and not wait 7 months? I know I'd be bidding if I hadn't reserved! I say it hits 40K

[Seth Larney]

Hmm .. I didn't think you could cancel ebay auctions after a bid has been placed ?

[Greg M]

yes you can

[Shawn Nelson]

ah man, were you there at the Red gathering at NAB? I was and didn't meet you, though it was a huge table and not very conducive to meeting everyone, still an awesome time.

[Brook Willard]

I've got $20 with your name on it to add your camera to my "Yours." collection! :)

Brook, I'll give you a two for one on extra wingnuts for that $20. :usd:

[Clayton Harper]

Yeah, I was prolly down at the other end from you, hanging with phaz, adaml, don donatello and host phil who is the greatest gentleman I have ever met in the camera world.

Next time dude.

[C.J.Harvaraj]

bad time to get a loan. dame

[BASSAM MSSALATIE]

Auction reach's 28k .. still 6 days left .. she will have good price i guess:w00t:
what about buy it now ? any thoughts..

[Mark L. Pederson]

Pretty sure there are higher offers via PM.

Today I will TRY to twist Clayton's arm and convince that sometimes IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY.

[BASSAM MSSALATIE]

Good luck Mark .:mellow: will you make hard :weight_lift: hope it will gonna work

[C.H.Haskell]

Wow, I missed this thread! This trip sounds quite worth it but if it were me I dont think I could sell the RED. Of course if your REALLY need the dough then thats another story.

Best of Luck Clayton...safe travels.

[Joe D'Arcy]

Hi Clayton. Do you know the situation with warranty? Will all of your existing warranties carry over to me if I purchase your camera?

[Paul Hazlett]

Phaz, what's up buddy? I think we should get lit up again at the Hofbrauhaus in April. Are you going?

I hope so, but this time I am getting one of those beer steins you can crawl into and inviting the St. Pauli girl to join me.

[Clayton Harper]

R U Nuts? :clown2:

[Joe D'Arcy]

Email me at red142@mac.com

Thanks Clayton. This was covered on another thread.

[Joel Smith]

Not that it's any of my business, but are you going to tell the winner before or after the auction that the warranty is not transferable and is void?

[conrad gaunt]

I like your style.

[Martin Drew]

In the listing on Ebay warranty issues are mentioned and there is a link to Reds terms, sounds more than fair to me.

It's not over until the fat lady sings.
I am still trying to convince him not to sell his camera, and to park it at Offhollywood.
Doesn't everyone understand that RED is wrapped in karma?
Sell an early reservation = 7 years of bad luck.

[I Bloom]

Anyone care to place a bet? 20 bucks or the expensive draft beer of your choice says he sells.

Clayton, you can win this bet easy. :biggrin:

Ian, I think the bet should be limited to one draft beer. I was witness to your current low tolerance to alcohol. I fear the women of Brooklyn would be defenseless against your unbridled charm if you were to have $20 worth of draft beer. :biggrin:

That's why I need them to ship my Red. These glow sticks don't cut it in 2008.

You should meet me and Mr. Tequila. Four shots and I'm guaranteed to make a life changing mistake.

by next week you'll have enough $$ to place order for 2 Reds, and you may still have enough change for a beer of your choice.

[Rick Darge]

Holy crap. $35K ? I wonder what this will sell for..

My guess.. $42K

Damn I should have bought 2 cams

[Poi Boy]

I bought 2 with the thought that I could sell one at a profit if things didn't work out...but no way I'm selling.

[Clayton Harper]

I have made an agreement with a rental facility. No more auction. :biggrin:

[Martin Drew]

Seems still live to me with only 6 mins to go so you had better cancel it quick.

M

[Martin Drew]

Ooooops. Auction ran it's course.

[Anthony Gratl]

37.7K. Good for you man.

EDIT: I just read your comment about rental agreement. Don't think you can cancel an auction with less than an hour to go. Unless you're joking...really your laughing on your way to the bank anyways, but I think you have to sell to the highest bidder at this point no?
Anyways, you've done really well. The secondary red sellers market will be dropping every two weeks as the cameras ship, so I think that the monetary gain between optimum renting potential (look at the number of red rental posts) and selling as you did is negligible, and you can now get the red body for free!!!!! Although I do see Mark's point: slow and steady, like renting out the basement of your house...

[laguun]

37.7K. Good for you man.

That's my b-roll camera dude.

Isn't that illegal of you? You let it go off auction, which is then a binding agreement for you to sell it to the highest bidder.

[Mark L. Pederson]

sooooo....... you made a deal without even letting me counter ....

one word for you .... DUDE!!!

That's okay ... I can always get Shawn Nelson's camera for that big studio film that starts shooting RED in NYC late March on ... 7 Red cameras ...

Mark, shoot me a PM if you want 363. I'd be more than happy to help on that.
