Russ I posted my first photo at Ebay-Ricoh 4300

Ogden

Russ, with your advice I bought the Ricoh 4300 on Ebay a few weeks ago. I have now posted my first ever sale on ebay (or anywhere else). How do the pictures look? I love the camera but I am still leaning.

Picture looks excellent! Believe it or not, circulated coins are much more difficult to shoot than the proofs that I usually do. Kudos!

Russ, thanks. If it looked that good I must have done something right, wish I knew what it was.

Wow, that IS a great photo. But it seems to have a greenish tint to it. Did you use regular light bulbs to light the coin? You should get some GE Reveal bulbs.

Also, you should BE SURE to note in your auction description that the coin shown is the one being sold. Many sellers use stock photos, and if you make sure people know you DON'T, you'll more than likely get more bids and increase the final price of the item.

I bought this RDC-4300, I'm waiting for it to arrive. I think I got a bargain at that price. I'll be getting a copy stand to go with it. What was the one you recommended Russ?

Ogden

Hi Robert, and thanks for the reply. I actually used a halogen lamp but did not point it directly at the coin. I'm still experimenting with this camera. It does eat batteries and I may have to buy a charger. It seems you got a great deal on your Ricoh. I paid $108.00 for mine and I thought that that was a good price. Yours was even better.

You are also right about the listing. SInce I never listed anything before I will need to be more careful so any potential buyer is more informed. Good luck with your new camera. I hope you like it. Again my only concern at this time is how quick the batteries go.

Yeah, when I grabbed mine, I got it for $132. But, I also got the AC Adapter.

Robert,

Yep, that's the one. For shooting coins, it equals great bang for the buck.

Ogden,

Try playing with the white balance for adjusting out any tint in the pictures.
