Time to Hang Up My Hat

As you may already know, poor health has led me to shuttering my photography business. You can read more about this very difficult decision by clicking on this link.

I have a rather large inventory of photography equipment, display equipment, business supplies available for sale - or free to a good home in some cases :-)

An email was sent out to interested individuals yesterday listing just a small amount of my inventory. Rather than bombard with frequent emails - I'm going to use this blog as a place to visit if you're interested in anything I may have on offer. I'll update it frequently as I come across items (I'm moving a little slowly these days), or as items are sold.

Here are a few items, more coming every few days. Please note that all items must be picked up from me in north east Burlington, I'm often not well enough to get to the post office to ship items out. Payment is by cash or PayPal (for purchases over $100). If you have questions about any items, please don't hesitate to email me at sandy@theintrepidlens.com.

Regards,
Sandy
