Sold my Canon EF 28-135mm lens
I finally sold an unused lens (Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM), which I bought a year ago from my friend, Noel Kleinman.
Why?
I dropped the lens last April while I was borrowing it from Noel. Fortunately, he was cool about the situation and let me buy the lens.
I haven’t really used it since then.
A few weeks ago, I went on an eBay selling streak and sold all my bass guitar pedals1. Those sales gave the courage to finally post the lens for auction on eBay.
After eBay and shipping fees, I broke even from when I bought the lens. Other than being a little cautious with a new eBay user with zero feedback, everything went well.
I’m glad that most camera lenses don’t depreciate like everything else2.
P.S. I bought a used Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM on eBay a few weeks ago, so don’t ask me what I’ll do with this money.
