No idea - I've got a Google Pixel!

Could do that. Will find out the cost to ship insured if serious?

Thanks - I think so! The Zeiss 135mm and the Oly 50mm in particular are outstanding lenses even wide open, and so easy to focus with focus peaking. But I also really like the rendering and colours from the cheap Ricoh. I don't know what the latest X-trans cameras are like but I had an X-E2 and really didn't like the waxy, over-smoothed skin in high ISO jpegs. This first generation of X-trans sensors didn't have that aggressive noise reduction.

Somebody please buy it before I talk myself into keeping it.

Yes, they are all manual focus, non-Fuji lenses.

Late 2009 iMac for sale: 27" i7 2.8ghz, 12gb RAM, 1TB HDD - £500

Bought new by me in 2010 - never missed a beat. Top spec at the time - cost around £2k. Upgraded the RAM and I understand it will take 32GB, not just the 16 advertised by Apple. Also easy to add SSD if you so wish, so plenty of scope to improve further. Still a very fast machine! Used predominantly for photo and video editing. Apple Magic Mouse not pictured but it will come with one.

Pretty much mint condition as it's sat on a desk it's whole life. The fans have pulled a bit of dust into the screen assembly which shows as small smears near the top of the screen - purely cosmetic. Watched a YouTube vid on how to clean this yourself. Bit involved but user serviceable with a bit of time and courage.

In Cambridge. Could pack and post at insured cost if absolutely necessary or can probably meet somewhere.

Fuji X-E1 and lenses for sells: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/14290203/

Any interest in a Fuji X-E1 body (same sensor as X-PRO 1) and a few lenses and adapters? I love this little camera and the joys of cheap MF lenses, but it's just not getting used and I could do with the money. All working perfectly. Camera comes with charger and one battery. Lenses mostly have front and rear caps.
X-E1 - £150
Carl Zeiss Jena DDR 135mm f/3.5 'red MC' (highly-rated lens and coatings) - £50 inc M42-FX adapter
Olympus Zuiko 50mm f/1.8 'Made in Japan' (best version of insanely sharp nifty 50) - £30 inc OM-FX adapter
Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 'close focus' MC, Olympus fitment - £20
Ricoh Rikenon 50mm f/2 'Made in Japan' - £20 inc PK-FX adapter

Take the lot for £250 and I'll throw in Nikon AI-FX and Minolta MD-FX adapters and an SD card.

Get them to run that and take a pic to show that the hardware is all as it should be.

I've just gone down a similar route. Look for a 2013 (late 2013, preferably) - 2015 machine; basically the same shells with marginal gains in processor and SSD read/write speeds. I went for a top-of-the-line late 2013 15" (i7 2.6ghz with 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD, dual graphics) for £800, which I think is a good price for the spec and a very clean machine with ~250 charge cycles.

Arrived yesterday, typing this on it. All seems well but I'm going to take the back off tomorrow and check for liquid ingress (there are indicators inside the case).

2014 models (I think) had some issues with the screen delaminating. 2015 gets you the force trackpad and maybe some other stuff I'm not aware of.

I almost went for a late 2013 13" i7 with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD - sold for a shade under £600, so there are bargains to be had compared to new prices.

Usual stuff applies: watch some sales to get a view of prices; converse with seller in advance if possible; check feedback; get screenshots of spec, battery condition and diagnostics saying that everything's a-okay (as much as it can ever be when buying remotely).

Buying from Hoxton Macs or another refurbisher is an option - but you will pay quite a premium for the peace of mind. Good luck!

It's eBay. They're close, so I will absolutely go and have a poke around before closing and set it up with my account if necessary. If the battery's good and it otherwise seems okay, does the price seem fair for the spec?

Help me out with used pricing. Late 2013 MacBook Pro 15", 2.3ghz i7, 16gb ram, 512ssd. Wants £700 but can't tell me the condition of the battery as she can't be arsed to set it up again. Alarm bells?

Anyone interested in a late 2009 iMac 27" i7 2.8 ghz 12 gb ram? Tossing up whether to sell or keep and stick an SSD in it. Would possibly swap for a MacBook of some description.

Interested in crankset - PM coming

What is the best value anchovy/dynaplug-type solution?

Also, G-One users: what's the life expectancy of tyres once the central knobbles are pretty much flat?

I done a stupid today and absent-mindedly pulled out a small stone from my rear G-one. Big mistake: decent-sized hole starts pissing air and goo. Spun the wheel and got the hole to the top, put my finger over it in an attempt to reverse time. Once I'd made peace with my stupidity, I span the wheel so the hole was at the bottom in the vain hope it might seal, and went in to work.

Sure enough, the tyre was as flat as a pancake when I came to ride home. I had a spare inner tube and a single canister of CO2. Couldn't be fucked with the inner, so chanced it and emptied the CO2 into the ailing tyre - it worked! Hurrah! I literally rode off into the sunset.

Five minutes later my chain snapped and I had to call my wife to collect me.

Can I get on board with this?

Thanks to those who have paid so far. I've transferred the funds to work so should be in a position to send them on Thursday or Friday.

I have a few handsets left if anyone else is interested?

Try something else: which are the reputable used Mac sellers online?

Who's selling a Macbook atm? Either a high-spec Air or a Pro...

No time to take detailed pics of each handset but here they are. Will clean each before sending.

I'm in Cambridge. Not sure when I'm next there so it's possible, certainly, but not sure when.

Sorry for the delay, but I can now RELEASE THE PHONES! As this thread is now three weeks old, probably best if we start afresh - first come, first served. PayPal is brockleytim at gmail dot com. Work want paying before they give me that handsets so expect to wait (I guess) a week between me receiving the cash and you getting your phone.

Sorry, no pics as the IT guys are busy with the ISO auditors! But as the OP, they are all in good used condition.

Or Rokinon/ Samyang 12mm f/2

It's quite shocking, watching them go at your expensive bricks with hammers and fury. Worth it in the end, though.
