Trade-in service

So, over the years, as your photography skills have increase, you want to upgrade your cameras and lenses, stepping up to new technology or better quality equipment. (We know, we’re photography enthusiasts too, we understand.) But you don’t want to end up with a bunch of unused camera equipment sitting around not being used, not to mention needing to fund that new, faster lens you’ve got your eye on. 

The good news is that there’s a strong market for second-hand camera equipment. But selling equipment yourself can be time-consuming. Camera House can help to streamline that process, and give you trade-in credits to put towards equipment upgrades. Staying at the forefront of technology and saving some money – that sounds like a win to us!

• What types of cameras and accessories can I trade in?
  Any trade-in cameras, lenses and other accessories need to be in working condition. We accept a range of mirrorless, DSLRs and film cameras, as well as accessories like lenses and lighting equipment. For an assessment of your equipment and a trade-in evaluation, please visit us in-store.
• Can I use the trade-in price as credit for new purchases?
  Yes, absolutely. Check with your local store on their policies around in-store credit or cash payout. 
• What kind of price can I expect? Can I get an estimate of the trade-in value before coming in-store?
  Trade-in valuations depend on the type of camera, its condition and market demand. You can phone us to get a ballpark range and then we can provide a more comprehensive evaluation in-store.
• Can I trade-in non-functional equipment?
  For trade-ins, equipment needs to be working. If you want to explore camera repairs, we can quote you on options to restore your equipment, then once the equipment is working, provide you a trade-in quote.
