Looking to SELL your camera equipment ?  Here are some things to know:

1.  I purchase and collect fine classic and antique cameras and lenses.  I also purchase camera collections and estates.

2.  99% of Kodak, Polaroid and movie cameras have little to no value. They were made by the millions and most people saved them, thus they are very common.

3.  Unless you have a rare and unusual item, I don't typically make offers.  Why ?  Well, many people will then use my offer to just shop their item around.  If you'd like an appraisal, I can offer you that. And if I end up buying your item, I would refund the cost of the appraisal.  See more about this below under "conflict of interest."

4.  I can't pay retail prices for your equipment.  In general, I pay about 55-60% of what your item may sell for on ebay.  Why so "little" you ask ?  Well, selling on ebay costs money, in fact about 14% of the final value of each item goes to auction and paypal fees.  Second, there are things like taxes. Third, is my time.  Fourth, is I assume the risk involved in buying equipment like a faulty shutter or scratched lens.  Most camera dealers pay 40-50% of values - I strive to pay more because I am a collector, first and foremost.

Why would you want to sell your equipment to me ?  

a.  I make it fast and easy.  

b.  I pay a fair amount for your item.

c.  My reputation is perfect on ebay.  I have a 24 year track record with a positive ebay feedback record of over 2,470 successful and happy transactions - click here to see my ebay feedback.  I have NEVER had a negative feedback left for me on ebay in 24 years !

d. Most transactions take place via the US Postal Service or UPS and instant payments via paypal.  Easy. I will also travel if need be.
Conflict of interest ?  Given that I offer to appraise items in addition to purchasing them, here is how I ensure no conflict of interest.  If I appraise an item for you, I also provide you data that supports my appraisal (like 3rd party completed auction data).  If I end up buying your equipment that I appraised for you, I return the appraisal fee to you.

Ready to sell something to me ?  Please proceed by:

1.  Describe as best your can, your item and the condition its in (if you know).

2.  Send as many photographs of your item as possible.

3.  Give me a day or two to respond to you.  While I am generally quick in returning emails, this is not my "day job," but rather a 30 year passion (camera collecting).
