Sony a1

Listing approved. Thanks for using Swappa.

How is this listed as Mint? There is a clear scratch on the camera sensor

How about you try asking about the sensor instead of just assuming there is a scratch.

As stated camera is in mint condition. There is no “scratch” on sensor. Updated picture has been uploaded.

Hi. Are you original owner? It doesn't come with the box, correct? What type of photography/videography was the camera originally used for? Thanks.

Yes I bought it new. I do not have the box with me unfortunately. I tried to use it for motorsports but just didn’t have the time.

Thanks! It looks like it's in good condition from the photos and I appreciate that you have taken care of it. I know you have it listed at $3600. I'm an amateur enthusiast and I've been saving up for an upgrade. My budget has a ceiling at $3300 though. Would you be willing to accept $3300? I'm a serious buyer and expect this would be a hassle-free sale. Thanks so much for considering!

I can lower it some but not a listing price of 3300. With fees that’s way lower than I want to. I can guarantee you will not find another A1 in this condition with that low of a shutter count. I can lower it to a price where the pay out is 3300.

Thanks for considering. It's hard to consider since I don't know exactly what the payout would be on your end. Do you know what the price would be?

It says around 3502 I don’t think that includes taxes

I lowered the price so you might be able to see it now.

Still interested in it at that price?

I had a couple of other questions. When did you buy it new? Can you clarify what you mean by motorsports photography? Do you mean that you used it for video or for photo? And was this just hobbyist use? And does it come with the shoulder strap?

Yes hobbyist use. Only pictures no videography. Yes I have the Sony strap that comes with it. I believe right when it came out in 2021.

Cool. Last question (I know this one is a little strange). I see that you are in North Miami Beach. Are you near the ocean? Any rust on any of the springs or anything? I've seen a couple of stories of rust appearing in these types of cameras so wanted to ask. Thanks again for answering all everything!

I just moved down here and it’s been locked up for the past 5 months lol. No rust never been near the ocean or sand with this camera. I can get more clear shots of specific areas if you would like.
