I spent the last six months in Ao Nang. The whole time I was there I had a Nikon D80 with several top-of-the-line lenses and numerous accessories for sale - I started wide with Craig's List, and had two nibbles - then went principally through a couple Facebook groups devoted to buy/sell/trade, with no response whatsoever. I think it may have been the wrong market - too many transients and not enough permanent ex-pats.

Now that I am here in Chiang Mai, probably till November, I have placed ads in similar Facebook groups, as well as having left the craigslist ad up. The asking price is already cheap - one brand new lens, barely used and still under warranty, is worth roughly the asking price for the whole package i am offering. I still have hopes of selling my gear through these private channels or any others local Chiang Mai types can suggest. But since moving here I have been in a motor accident, spent time in hospital, and though I came up here to look for another ESL teaching job, I have yet to get back to work. So now selling the gear is imperative, even if I have to take less than a private sale would yield. (Though if anyone reading this is interested, I can provide technical details and photos of all the gear.)

I have googled some promising looking businesses, but my motorbike is still in the shop, so it is a hassle to travel all over town looking for the best deal, Any suggestions of places you have had experience with or have heard good things about will be much appreciated!

I would also consider trading for an iPad, which I could use for teaching.
