This is NOT in any way an official F64 or Twitter product.
A twitter bot (@F64Consignatie) that keeps a watchful eye on the used photo gear (watching all their suff is just too much) sold by F64.
Being a shutterbug myself I like the chance to take advantage of great photography gear deals but have little lime to check websites like this on a daily basis. I also like to develop shiny new things. Since I use Twitter as a source of information and have little time to check photo gear sellers on a daily basis why not combine both to save time?!
