First, members can check out the for sale section in the member's area, but if there is nothing in there, usedlens.co.uk is an easy to use site that brings items from multiple sellers into one place.  Filters are available to customise your search to include or exclude sellers from ebay or specific dealers as well as other options and also will show if a dealer you favour is included in the search.

The Faststone Image Viewer is a very versatile application.  It has a similar appearance to Widows Explorer, but also has some editing capabilities - resizing, cropping and cloning to mention just a few.  It is also very customisable and has a great slide show built-in.  Best of all is that it is free!  You will see an invitation to donate, but you don't have to.  However if you do donate you get a key and then the pop-up will not appear.  N.B. This is for Windows PCs only.
