Photomarket is the big one for photography: https://www.reddit.com/r/photomarket/
It tends to tilt towards more hypey cameras these days but you can still get some good deals
Tea sales for.. tea https://www.reddit.com/r/teaexchange/
ULgeartrade for ultralight camping / hiking gear https://www.reddit.com/r/ULgeartrade/
For photography, I'll do a combo of photomarket + fredmiranda and photrio. Between those, better deals than eBay; serious sellers

film camera stuff was great on ebay years ago but now it's someone's dead grandfather's stuff they don't know if it works, or it's someone selling stuff bought in japan with questionable quality (that source used to be very good, now not so much)
of course these subs work best if you're in, like they say, CONUS (continental USA)
the analog film stuff i get there is way cheaper than used camera stuff i might have bought in singapore / hk back in the day

@skinnylatte Mm. Consider the benefits your location gives you - scrolling through that photomarket link reminds me of rangefinderforum - a lot of it’s US-only sellers
At least we can still use KEH! -
@cos yes, def could not ‘avail’ of these deals when I lived elsewhere
the Bay Area alone has such a huge density of good gear at every price point! It has been good for my hobby, not for my wallet
