Buying cameras & photography in Baltimore
Baltimore is a rowhouse city with a major university and medical complex at its centre. The houses are narrow and tall, so furniture is sized accordingly, and the medical and academic population turns over on fixed terms.
Optics are heavy, precisely made and ruined by a single hard knock in transit, which makes posting them a genuine gamble. Collecting in person means the glass arrives in the state it was described in.
What to check in person
Check the contacts on both mounts are clean and unpitched, and mount the lens to feel whether it seats without play. On older bodies work the flash and the mode dial, and look into the battery bay for the corrosion that leaking cells leave.
Collecting it in Baltimore
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
Rowhouse staircases are narrow with a tight turn, and that defeats more furniture than any other factor here. Street parking is competitive, so agree a time and a spot rather than turning up.

Residencies, fellowships and academic terms all end together, and each of those cycles puts furnished apartments onto the market at a predictable point in the year.
State the shutter count if the body reports it and be straightforward about any marks on the front element. Bring a charged battery and a card so the buyer can take a frame, because that single test closes most sales on the spot. Lifts before summer holidays and again in the run-up to Christmas.
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
