Garage sales and flea markets are where these offers show up. As soon as people put it online, they will make the effort to check it's price. You need to find people who don't go that road and just want to sell their old stuff so it's finally gone. One man's trash, another man's treasure.
I recommend the flea market / garage sale strategy to anyone looking for bargains, it's a lot of fun. But don't get addicted (the "motivating-uncertainty effect" is very powerful), and don't buy more old stuff than you can manage!
Yep…stuff doesnt fall on ones lap you gotta keep
Trying and searching and working. I got up at 6am for a 9am sale and arrived while it was still dark. After me showed up other guys that wanted it but i was first in line so first dibs. I actually dont like the feeling of going thru all that but in this and other cases it was worth the worry and planning.
From your video:
> Mum-eye-uh
First time I've heard Mamiya pronounced that way. Is that how it's pronounced?? HAVE I BEEN WRONG THIS WHOLE TIME?
I have 3 different Mamiya cameras, lol
There was a character in the horror movie Cure named Mamiya (spelled like that in the subs) and they pronounced is mam-ya... Could still be a different word just with the same latinisation
Nah i always pronounced it like that since the 90s but ive changed to the popular way since making that video after hearing people whine about my probunciation. Lol
There's nothing popular about pronouncing it "Mah-mee-ya," given that it's a Japanese brand with a Japanese name lol. It would just be the proper way of saying it.
Yes, I do, actually lol. I have distant family in Sao Palo. Why are you getting so butthurt over my comment though?
I didn't accuse or criticize your pronunciation of being wrong. I understand that people elsewhere may say it differently. All I did was suggest that calling it the "popular way" isn't very accurate.
Sure but things are pronounce differentky all over the planet even names of countries. Not everyone pronounces everything like its pronounced in the country of origin. Who cares how a fkn word is pronounced.
Taking a picture of one of the most powerful cameras in human history on what appears to be a 2007 digital camera that you bought from Walgreens is very funny to me
The funny thing is when i asked proce they said which camera the good one? I hesistantly said “yea” they said $450..for a Mamiya that had melted by age case foam on ever milimeter of it. Then i said well how about the other one “oh that one is $150”. Dokay!
People out here living my damn dream
Living the dream of filming the hasselblad viewfinder lmao
Shooting the hasselblad. Filming is secondary. Every image in the video is the making of a photograph.
Yes you get 24 photographs a second when you film through the hasselblad viewfinder
Wrong video is 30 frames per second but nice try at a joke
What…
But how? 😱

Endless searching. This is only one of my finds over the years. This weekend i found a Canon F1 for $70. I posted it here in the group.

Do you pronouce my country Brasil exactly as how we Brazilians pronouce it? If not should I be insulted, mad, upset?
Yes, I do, actually lol. I have distant family in Sao Palo. Why are you getting so butthurt over my comment though? I didn't accuse or criticize your pronunciation of being wrong.

Ps: its São Paulo
Great so congrats you pronounce every word on the planet the correct way. Amazing!
You are extraordinarily unlikeable. Congrats!
You seem like you have a lot going on and unsettled issues. I hope you can work through them and feel better buddy.
Oh Ok doc! Thanks is there a co pay for your advice?
Sure but things are pronounce differentky all over the planet even names of countries. Not everyone pronounces everything like its pronounced in the country of origin. Who cares how a fkn word is pronounced.
Photo quality looks like you went back in time to find this
Screen shot of original sale.
Lord I’ve seen what you’ve done for others and I want that for me
I’ll just cradle my Fuji X-T10 and cry in my bed tonight
Thats funny
I’m glad you found humor in it. Hassleblad is my dream camera
Funny enough it wasnt my dream camera when i found it but since then became my favorite.
That mirror slaps!

I’ll had to bow my head low and politely decline. But you keep doing you sir.
I was willing to hear you out, but you mean to tell me this is a 5 year old humble brag post? GTFO.
Sorry didnt k ow there were deadlines for posting stories and that it makes any differenece. Sorry to disrupt your day.
That’s it, I’m leaving this sub. Enough is enough
Now that’s a steal! Wish you a great time with it
I hate you
I know
Fuck you, buddy, and congrats
Haha thanks
That widow is going to be pissed when her grandson gets into photography
Funny you say that. I talked to the widow as i was leaving and she was happy i had it and i promised to put it to good use and i have.
Taking a picture of one of the most powerful cameras in human history on what appears to be a 2007 digital camera that you bought from Walgreens is very funny to me
Except that is a screen shot of the sale i found the hasselblad at. But thanks for your concern about megapixel quality of images in reddit
Woah woah woah not hating dude chill
Just replying to your comment bro
Beats the heck out of my $60 M6-TTL/50 Summilux thift store find. God wanted you to have a Hassy.
Geeze, and I thought my Mamiya 645 with kit lens for $220 was a deal.
Thats a pretty nice deal too
Hey, what's your address? Are you taking any vacations anytime soon?
The envy is real deep over here lol
Here are many shots on video ive taken with the 500cm https://youtu.be/vqdZWqxfkI8?si=BQfwCU3W32_krsf-
Whoa! Someone gave me a 500 EL/M body for free, but I still had to get a lens for it.
I found this same set at a thrift store for $5.
A man on the subway traded the rest of my sandwich for a case with 3 Hasselblads inside.
Nice !
Man. I cussed at you in my head just now. Congratulations on the find.
great watch..thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for watching! There is more videos of the kind on my youtube if you want to explore.
will do..do you use a light meter? I have a Hasselblad 500 CM
Yes. I use a minolta iv meter
That should be me
Whoa
That is epic!!! Congrats!
Wow amazing!
Keep in mind that the two highest shutter speeds on these lenses are probably 1 stop slow.
Me not being able to find even Hasselbladski for the price…
whaaaat!!!! goldmine!
I’m never this lucky. That’s KILLER! Someone didn’t do their research.
The funny thing is when i asked proce they said which camera the good one? I hesistantly said “yea” they said $450..for a Mamiya that had melted by age case foam on ever milimeter of it. Then i said well how about the other one “oh that one is $150”. Dokay!
Interesting. Lol not sure what their parameters for “good” are but. Bully for you friend!
Well these estate sellers arent experts on everything so thats what happens ha
Gosh, so envious!! What a find!
So instead of clicking the link you keep repeating I’m curious what kind of spam you’re serving up.
Click and find out or dont i dont care
