Best place to sell a camera?

General Chat

I’ll probably end up on eBay again, but after an unpleasant run-in with a nutter on there a few weeks ago I’m trying to avoid it at the moment.

Does anyone have any suggestions for the bets place to advertise and sell a camera in the UK?

You know: low fees, low headbanger quotient?

Thanks in advance.

What camera is ir?

Leica Q.

Sorry then Aside from a camera shop such as Ace optics or the Wam I cannot think of any alternatives to Ebay

Leica forum?

PFM has a photography classifieds section.

I have bought from these guys and it was hassle free, never sold to them though.

There a couple of well run UK photog sales groups on Facebook.

Loads of great suggestions - thanks very much folks.

I’d second the Leica Forum.

+1 for Leica forum or London Camera Exchange. MPB good too.

Nice camera, I have one - do you mind me asking why you are selling it?

12

Thanks, and it is indeed a very nice camera.

I simply don’t use it enough to justify owning it. I fished it out of a cupboard yesterday only to find that it was completely flat. Realised that I hadn’t used it since last September, and that if I do take a picture I just reach for my phone. Out it goes.

Also my eyesight is sufficiently shit these days that the act of taking a photograph with all the concomitant faffing to find the correct glasses etc. actively annoys me.

Oh – get that GLWTS

A private sale would probably give you the best return, but for a hassle free deal try Red Dot Cameras http://www.reddotcameras.co.uk/
I’ve a couple of camera friends who highly recommend the shop.

15

That’s where it came from in the first place, they’re really nice people.

There’s someone on here who sounds interested, but I need to get my act together and think of a price, and fight the usual pitched battle with SWMBO - nothing must ever be bought or sold.

I too would recommend Red Dot.
I’ve dealt (only bought) with them a couple of times.

The Q is a nice camera, but if memory serves me right, it’s a fixed lens.
I’ve got several Leica lenses, and also, I’m limbering up for an M10 :smiley:

Good luck.

18

Yep.

Fixed 28 but the Q is really the first digital camera that Leica got right IMO, I’ve had a few cameras and it’s genius.

Whether they can take that innovative thinking/execution forward… I’m not the person to ask.

M10 looks tasty, especially if you have some lenses lying around.

19

Yes, I thought it was fixed, but yes, nice camera.

I’ve got several M’s to go with those lenses - film and an M9 :smile:

Do start a thread if you get one - bit elitist, like the Porsche thread :wink: might persuade me to part with £££ to get one too.
