I posted this on RedUser.net but I figured I would post it here too:

EDIT: Best offer over $20k takes it. I am accepting offers until Monday the 17th. Thanks


Howdy doodie-

I have come to a point where its better for me to rent a camera than invest in this one. This camera has done very well for me and I will continue to use Red cameras (just not own one at this time!).

First off, everything is in good condition. This stuff hasn't been on the "Rental market". There are only minor signs of use. I just got the camera back from Red headquarters to get it checked out (This camera doesn't yet have the audio or i-pin upgrade yet but it will be available to you as soon as the serial number comes up). This camera is still under warranty as well and it is the most "stable" Red One I have ever used- thank goodness.

So here's what I have- Very basic package:


1x Red one body w/PL mount
1x CF module
1x BNC adapter
1x mini-XLR adapter
1x Top mount
1x Top handle
1x Battery Plate
1x HR lightweight battery mount
3x 8GB CF cards
3x Red brick batteries
1x Red charger
1x Aux power cable
1x Red 5.6" LCD (newer one)
1x Short Red arm
1x Red LCD cable
1x Custom lightweight 15mm baseplate (60mm spacing)
1 pair x 15mm 9" stainless iris rods
1 pair x 15mm 4" Carbon fiber iris rods
1x Lexar Professional firewire 800 CF Reader
1x Black/Red Portabrace semi-rigid carry-on bag for the Camera and accessories


The value is around $24,000. I am looking for the best offer over $20,000.

My serial is 1244 so you also get ahead of some 4000+ other people for scarlet and epic. Not to mention the camera is worth its full value for trade-in to epic.

Save a few thousand! Send me a PM.

I will post when its sold.
 
Note: I prefer to sell this as a package if possible.

FYI- just the body,LCD, cards and batteries would cost you ~$22500, so theoretically if you bought this for $20k, you would put $2500 back in your pocket. The other stuff is just a bonus.

And to answer the "Why are you selling it?" question:

Honestly, I wasn't planning on buying a red one at first. Then I had a few longer jobs come up and so I bought it and everything went well. Being that I have a very basic camera package, I often rent the needed accessories per job, and sometimes its actually cheaper to rent a whole camera package with ET and Arri gear for cheaper than just renting the accessories for use on my camera- go figure! I only use this camera a few days per month now and I have been on a film binge. I have been wanting to get an aaton a-minima to use for some personal projects and b-roll, so thats what I am planning on doing. I am going to buy a used a-minima and then defer the rest of the money I get from the sale to pay off some other bills.

Like I said earlier, For me this is not a departure from the Red system, I really like the Red and I like working with the Red. I am still going to shoot on Red, it just wont be my camera that I use.
 
hey Hunter...I posted the pics for the K-3 I have listed if you'd still like to see them...I can send over additional pics if you want to see them, just give an email address...good luck with your sale
 
Dang. Can't believe Hunter is giving up the RED. And at a great price. I'll be surprised if someone doesn't snatch this up in the next three to four days.

I agree with the reason for selling, by the way. Wish I had the money to acquire!

(there is now black velcro instead of white for using sunshades- I can take it off if you want)

And here is proof about what I said about renting camera packages from someone else instead of getting accessories for mine!:

No, I shot some spots for them a few months ago. They let me wear one of the sweatshirts as it was cold. Did you go to CMU?
 
You mentioned it being the most stable Red you have used... Do Reds go down alot?
Have you had problems with this one "crashing"?
 
No this one doesn't "crash" and I haven't had any problems like that before. I have heard of some people's Red camera's being trouble some, thats why I mentioned that I have not had issues like that with this one.
