Which big used camera retailer gave you a fair quote on your medium format kit?

[Certain Exposures]

I know a private sale probably earns the most. However, have you had a quote from one of the big online retailers recently? Did they send your equipment back in the condition you mailed it?

I am planning to entertain their offers on a RB67 Pro-S kit.

KEH

Not medium format but a lens. B&H payed me almost double their original quote.

KEH. Great company. And the best part, by selling there you are literally re-cycling your equipment to their clientele who for the most part loves photography.
I’ve only purchased new from B&H, and for decades now, and they’ve always been standup guys.
I’d try them also.
Good luck!

Sell it here at what they will give you with the buyer beware because of lower price. I sometimes buy a camera to try out when the price is low enough and if I like it I will keep it and sell at a later time. I recently bought a GW670 for $650 in good condition and will use it for awhile and maybe resell it if I find something I want more. Of course I end up with numerous cameras that don't get enough use but should also hold their value.

I sold my parents' very lightly used RB-67 Pro S to UsedPhotoPro (Roberts) in 2024. One lens, two film backs, a non-working CdS prism and a couple of other items - some in original boxes. Below is one of the pics I sent them for estimating a quote.

They ultimately gave me $400 for everything. I'm not sure if that was a good deal, but it was found money and I was happy to get it. Definitely an amazing camera, but I had no particular affection for it (it was acquired after my regular days working in the studio, we traded in our C330 for it... and I never used it enough to get comfortable with it). I had no plans to ever shoot it again, so off it went, and I put the money towards an OM-1n body and Zuiko 50/3.5 Macro lens...

You probably would have sold it here and made someone very happy.

No doubt somebody bought it from them and was very happy.

I don't begrudge UsedPhotoPro selling it all individually for more money (with warranties I can't offer), that's just business. I've bought and sold a bunch of stuff with them. Very professional outfit, their "Good"-rated items always seem more like "Excellent" to me.

Depending on your location KEH does have buying events in various cities. An easy way to sell with no shipping problems.
