For most episodes of this show, we rely on experts to come and talk to us about a specific topic.  We value the experiences and knowledges of people who know a lot about a brand or a style of camera to teach us something that we didn't already know.  For Episode 76 however, we decided to go with something the Camerosity hosts are already experts on, which is buying and selling cameras.

You don't get to have the experiences between the four hosts without access to a great deal of hardware, so we thought for this episode we would share some stories of how we all got to where we are at today.  In addition to our personal experiences, Anthony, Paul, Theo, and Mike share their best tips and tricks not only for buying cameras but also when it comes time to sell something.

Joining us on this episode are returning callers, Mark Faulkner, Mike Litwin, Will Pinkham, and first time caller Cody Yoder.  We cover the basics of buying and selling on eBay but also ways in which we've accumulated gear through estate sales, Facebook Marketplace, and through good old human interaction.  Paul shares his thoughts on the state of buying and selling, Mike discusses one of his favorite eBay sellers and why he doesn't buy from them anymore, and Anthony shares his story for how he met one of the most eccentric camera collectors in Florida.

In addition to buying and selling, Cody tells us a story about how he literally walked into a garage full of Hasselblads, Theo gives us an update on what it was like shooting and developing film while on vacation in Vietnam and Paul answers a question for how he decides how much to offer a seller when buying a large collection.

For the next episode, we are sticking with topics we know well and will dedicate Episode 77 entirely to blogging.  This podcast wouldn't exist if Mike had never started mikeeckman.com and met Anthony, Paul, and Theo through his site, so if you've ever been interested into the behind the scenes of researching and reviewing cameras for a website, this is the episode for you.  In addition to Mike and Theo's thoughts, we are going to solicit some of your other favorite bloggers and get their thoughts as well.  Episode 77 will be recorded on Monday, September 16th at 7pm Central Daylight Time and 8pm Eastern Daylight Time.

The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you’d like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance.
