Photo Business News & Forum: CalumetPhoto - Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
So, during my quest to reenter the field of photography after more 20 years, I had picked up a few lenses for my Nikon D7000 before I really knew what I wanted. After some time, I had collected a few lenses I just wasn't using and wasn't going to use. So, I took them to Calumet photo in Tysons Corner. I left deciding to keep one lens and try to sell it on eBay with two lenses SOLD - or at least I thought. It had been a few weeks and I realized I had no received a check from Chicago, so I call the store and nobody answers for days. It was then that I got a sick feeling and realized the news I had failed to hear - Calumet had closed their doors. Yep, closed their doors and stole my lenses. I'll never see the money, but I have asked the attorney handling the bankruptcy if I could possibly get my lenses back. Oddly, if Calumet has actually sold the lenses, then they have technically sold stolen property since I was never paid for them. Oh well, others are in worse shape. What about the people who took their gear in for cleaning or repairs and now their gear is locked up tight in a store where nobody has the key? What a pathetic way to shut down a business.
