So I did a TON of research and decided to go with a Kelly Moore bag and got the Gray Posey bag. However, I realized for how we shoot I just need a bigger bag I think. So I am selling this one. I got it the first week of January and have only used it for about a 20 minute mini session since it’s been so insanely cold in michigan the past 2 months. So, it’s basically brand new. The inside zipper even has the plastic still on it.

I bought it for $159 and would be willing to sell it for $145. You won’t find it cheaper than that anywhere, even ebay. Also if your local, you can just get it from me and not have to pay the $10.50 in shipping that is charged if you buy it right from kelly moore bringing it up to $169. It would also really be helping me out too because I can’t afford to get another bag until I can send this one to a new home :)

The flaps fold down and have magnets hidden in there to so they don’t go flopping around. 

One of the coolest things about this bag is the front flap I think. It holds all your credit cards and memory cards so you don’t have to have any other purse while shooting.

The back has an open pocket as well to stuff things in.

It comes with 2 removable padded dividers so you can customize the inside.

Thanks so much! :)

UPDATE!

THIS BAG HAS SOLD – Sorry!

……………………………………………………………………………………………

Let’s start with the big ticket item… a 17″ Macbook Pro we just got around Christmas. It is very lightly used as we only use it for travel since we have our iMac and MacPro workhorses. As you can see near the power button, there is one tiny little ding, but other then that theres a couple scratches on the bottom that I had a very hard time photographing, so they are obviously very minimal. Have a look!

This is a pretty tricked out model with the dual core 2.8GHz and a 500GB hard drive, it comes with apple care, and iWork 09. I will completely reformat this baby before you get it so you will have a basically brand new machine. If you try to get a model like this with everything it has you are looking at about $2,947.00 from Apple. We are selling this for $2,400 to the first good home so get it while it’s hot!

(SOLD) Next is a lens I just got from Lauren Clark which is a Canon 200mm f/2.8L. The lens is used a little bit from which you can see from the front casing paint chips… We originally got this lens to gain a little more reach which we were in China, but back how we do things around here, we don’t have much need for such a telephoto lens. I can assure you it is a very sound, sharp and contrasty lens. Quick focus just like new…Everything works very well and is a great alternative to a 70-200mm since it’s a quarter of the cost and half the weight and size! We got this lens for $550 from Lauren so we are just asking the same. Great deal since a new one is $769!

Next is our old workhorse Lowepro camera bag! It is a Commercial AW (all weather) and it can carry quite the load of stuff. Also the little zipper in the back houses a waterproof cover that comes out pretty easy. It has lots of those little velcro inserts that you can customize the bag with… and you can see how many lenses will fit in just the main pouch… It will also fit into an overhead bin for flight, but if they get crazy you may have to take off the removable side pouches. This bag retails new for $320, but we are asking $150. It is still in great shape, no tears or defects. There is storage around every turn with this bag!

Next is a pair of Canon CP-E4 Compact battery packs.

They are pretty self explanatory, you stick 8 AA batteries in there, attach it to a 580 EX, and you recycle time goes from 4 seconds to 1 with a full power discharge. We are selling these because we upgraded our flash system to a plug in unit. These will NOT work with 430 EXs as far as I know, since they dont have the plug. These are being sold retail for $150 … They are basically brand new, used a few times until we needed some more power! So we will let these go for $125 each. If you buy them both I will ship them for free.

Next is a brand new 24×36 ALZO Softbox that I got for the 580s before we upgraded. I was looking for a portable soft-box, which technically it is, but it still takes a little too long to set up when you are driving to a few different places on a shoot… This would be great for someone who can stay in one location or use it in house or at a studio. Retails new for $112, but I can sell this one for $90.

(SOLD)This is Apples bluetooth keyboard which works perfectly fine, I just never got around to selling it … Retails for $69 but I will give it up for $50. Basically brand new, hardly used.

Last and maybe least =) My grandpa’s old film camera! I told him I would see if anyone would take it off his hands so here it is. Obviously not super new but I know my grandpa takes good care of things as his 1991 Lexus looks literally brand new with 72,ooo miles on it! I would really like to sell this all together so it comes with a 28-85mm and 70-210mm lenses, both auto focus and in excellent condition never use without a UV filter (which is included) The only thing i wanted to mention was the duct tape over a small part of the hand grip, which has some cracked plastic under it, but is purely cosmetic. I am asking $150 for everything and as you can see you get a lot!

That’s it for now, all items will obviously have some shipping costs added on so just contact me and I will let you know! Thanks guys!!

We stopped by the Lowepro booth and found a perfect fit for us that I couldn’t pass up!! Our last bag was a Lowepro and I was super happy with it, but hey, this one rolls, AND it becomes a backpack in a pinch!! So many great features that you should really check out here.

That being said I will be selling the old bag when we get home and you can check it out here until I get some better images up. It’s in really good shape though.

Anyway! Here’s some images of all out stuff, and how perfect this new case is!!

I know you want me to tell you what all this stuff is so how about you go to my flickr image since I can tag stuff!

You liked that didn’t you =) It’s ok… Here’s a couple more of the bag.

First thing I did when I got the chance was customize the little velcro dividers to fit everything just right. I think I did pretty good!

Well that’s all the camera smut I have for you… You will have to get your fix somewhere else for the time being. Hopefully we could tide you over for the time being.

We know you guys love us… come on… admit it. No don’t admit it to us! Admit it to other people!

PS: watch out for those toilet monsters!

IN ALL SERIOU…Sorry, in all seriousness, we have a buttload of stuff to sell and now we have some more motivation (as if we didn’t have enough)

The Image is Found announced a ‘shootshop’ the day after we arrive in LA this august so we decided we HAVE to go to… They are going over a lot of the stuff we need the most and also we basically want to BE them. They are way creative and awesome. They were kind enough to let me pay for one spot and give me another week to pay for our second spot (since they fill up in like a day)

Soooo here’s some great gear that we would love for you to have… I mean pay for. I am a photoshop novice and didn’t spend hours on this so go easy on me =)

First up are the biggins. I have been holding on to my D700 because I just love it and didn’t feel like giving it up for butt-cheap so here it is now for butt-cheap because I have to =( I am going to be pretty firm at $2,100 for this thing. It is in very nice shape and was used for about 6 months before we made the switch. It IS a US model, there is nothing at all wrong with it. This is the best Nikon option period. You can read my review side by side with my new camera the Canon 5D mark II here but seriously this camera rules… feels so much better in your hands then my camera.

It comes with everything you see… I dont have the screen protector but there is no scratches miraculously enough. I also dont have the strap but if I dont sell the one below and you need one I will throw it in. The battery still reads new. I charged it after every use to keep it happy. The sensor is pretty clean as far as I can see. This thing is spotless.

The fisheye is the last lens I have with it… It’s a DX lens but it still looks really great even with the reduced resolution. Pretty fishy fisheye and it was one of my favorites… it is a great lens. Pretty much flawless as far as I see. Never dropped. I am asking $525 for this one and I don’t have the cap. Lost it at a wedding. Adorama retails it at $700 so I think thats pretty fair. If you want one you can get the cap here. It comes with a soft case that I never took out of the bag.

My last Nikon item is the Battery grip for either a D300 or D700 This is a must with this camera if you are holding it for any amount of time. It feels great and matches up with the build quality of the D700. You can even get 8fps with this grip and the right batteries. It has a little bit of paint rubbed of exposing some metal but otherwise never dropped or anything. You can buy it new for $260 so how about $185.

Another biggin is our basically brand new Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS L Telephoto zoom. It is just too expensive for us. We have too much to buy to make it worth it. But if you are in the market for one you know how great this lens is. For a zoom lens the sharpness doesnt get much better then this. The IS works amazingly at 1/20th of a second my shots are consistently sharp even at 200mm. This lens is also flawless and retails for $1,800. So I thought $1,400 would be very fair especially since we have used it about 2 times.

I wouldn’t be selling this if I didn’t have a second, nor would I if I didn’t want a TS-E so bad! So I am selling this amazing lens for $375 as it retails for $500. Again this Sigma is mint. We have used it since early this year and since we had 2 it stayed in the bag most of the time. We had no problem shooting this lens wide open for a whole wedding. I actually prefer this lens to the Canon version. Sharp focus every time unlike the canon. If you have a f/1.8 50, trust me this is worth an upgrade. you would have to shoot at f/3.5 to be as sharp as this lens, and you get a lot more background blur and speed. Check out all my images I have made with this one! flickr w/ 50mm

Since Holly and I bought the same computer right before we met we have always had 2. Now that we have a MacPro, iMac and 2 MacBook Pros, it might be time to trim down. This one is mine.

You can see the stats but it is a 2.16GHz dual with 2 gigs or RAM and 120gb HD. I used it for all my editing until we got the iMac about a year ago. Now if we do use it at all it’s when we travel. It shows signs of wear as you can see but really besides the battery needing to be replaced there’s not much wrong with it. Everything is cosmetic. It does not have any AppleCare and it runs with the Leopard OS. A new battery is like $100 bucks and I am asking $900 for this. Still runs very well and is completely capable (especially if you are upgrading from PC) ;)

Next I have an older surround sound system that I bought a few years ago. I didn’t use it a ton and the speakers sound great and the sub sounds well if you are fairly nice to it. I am not sure of the wattage and don’t have a box but it gets pa-ritty loud and sounds great with action movies and music. I am asking $75 for this.

Last is a few random items.

A neoprene strap $10
A couple Lens pouches you can strap to your belt. $8 (each)
Legal Forms $10
And a Gary Fong Lightsphere Cloud P2 or C2 it fits the bigger 580EX $30 and I will include a stofen or whatever flash diffuser.

Sooo hopefully you guys wanna give us all your moneys so we can go and learn how to get even better so that we can feed the fever for the Gaupers =)
