I am sure that you shoot digital nowadays, no more 35mm slides, right?
A good magazine set is still worth $5,000 give or take a few thousand. Yes $5,000 for one set. The problem is you have to know how to shoot and market it. Yes some are doing deals and some are not buying, but these ones are hurting because the customers are moving to the ones who still buy the best. No more slides, in fact I have a ton of them sitting here for anyone who wants to buy them.

The biggest difference between those days and today is that a lot of those sets is that was all I shot that day.Just one set, I had time to get it right and get the model right.
