Thinking of selling some gear?

We regularly buy used cameras, lenses and accessories from photographers, studios and trade partners.

That said, we’ll be upfront from the start — we don’t run an instant, automated quote system, and we don’t pretend to.

If you’re looking for immediate, automated pricing, platforms like MPB do a very impressive job.

If you’re happy with a human review and a realistic conversation, please read on.

How we do it

We’re a working photographic trade unit, and we assess gear manually, not by algorithm.

That means:

No instant prices
No automated drop-downs
No “click three buttons and get paid” promises

Instead, we look at:

Exact model and condition
Real-world market demand
Current stock levels
What we can realistically resell it for

It’s slower — but it’s honest.

What we’re interested in

We mainly buy:

DSLR and mirrorless camera bodies
Lenses from major systems
Accessories of genuine resale value

We’re less interested in:

Very low-value items
Obsolete or unsupported gear
Heavily damaged equipment

If you’re unsure, feel free to ask - always very happy to help.

About pricing (important bit)

We aim to make fair, realistic offers, based on today’s market — not the highest possible number you might see online.

If you’re expecting:

Retail prices
“As new” valuations for well-used gear
A bidding war

…we’ll probably disappoint you.

If you want:

A straight answer
No messing about
A deal that works for both sides

We’ll believe our offer will be genuine and fair for all parties.

How to get in touch

If you’d like us to take a look, email us with:

A list of the items
Clear photos
A brief description of condition

We reply personally, as quickly as we can, and we’ll always be straight with you — even if the answer isn’t what you were hoping for.

One last thing

We’re not trying to compete with automated trade-in platforms.

They do what they do very well.

We’re here for people who prefer:

A human response
A realistic discussion
And no false expectations

If that sounds like you — drop us a line and if the price is suitable, we can explain how payment is made and the equipment collected/tested/etc.,

Real cameras. Real photographers. Straight answers.
