| How
to become a registered member: |
You will need:
1. Pick a "Username" - like a nickname, this is how you will be
known at the Photogon.
2. Your email address - must be valid and deliverable, to receive your
password.
3. Your phone number - released only to another user in a transaction with
you.
Just click the Registration
link on any page, and enter the above three items. You will then receive
an email with a temporary password, which you can use immediately to sign in.
If you would like, you can change your password at any time, but you can NOT
change your Username, so pick one you'll be happy with. If you forget your
Username or password, you can go to the Registration
page and get help.

| How
to list an item for auction: |
Start by clicking the Start
an Auction link to get into the right page. You will find a
variety of fields that will need to be filled out, along with an optional field
for a picture URL. (see Posting pictures in ads). Once you have
completed the fields, you will be able to preview your listing. If
everything looks good in the Preview, go ahead and finish listing. Please
remember that once you Post the Item, you are entering into a contract with the
buyer. You cannot remove the listed item, and you cannot change your mind.
You can check real time status of all of your listings via MyPage.

Just click the Post
a Classified link, to access the form. Fill out the self explanatory
form, and you will be able to preview the listing before it is posted.
Photogon classifieds run for 30 days, after which they are automatically
deleted. The best part about the Photogon Classifieds is that you can
change your ad while it's running. You can let people know that the item
is sold, or that you forgot to mention the extra tubes, via MyPage.

| What
is the Photogon Grading Scale? |
It is often difficult to
gauge the physical condition of an item based on someone's description.
What exactly does "Mint" mean? Especially when everybody
seems to use it all the time? The Photogon Grading
Scale is a standard scale that is used by many dealers and reference books.
It is a 1-10 scale, with very specific criteria for each of the numbers.
Use this scale to describe your item's physical condition, and specify that you
are using the Photogon Rating Scale. This gives the bidder a lot of
confidence in your description, bringing you higher bids.

| What
is the Manufacturer Directory? |
Sure, you've seen all the
links to the manufacturer's websites, but their websites have information on
their current models only. If you need information on an older model, or
need to confirm the version of your item, you need to call the manufacturer.
We have compiled phone numbers, addresses, and in some cases, contact persons to
help you find the information you need. The Manufacturer
Directory is an invaluable resource to buyers and sellers of high end camera
equipment.
