ƒ/2.81/125ISO 200Nottingham camera buyer

Hi, I'm Jim.
I buy camera kit for cash.

Cameras, lenses, flashes, film gear, the bag it all lives in. I'm based in Nottingham — happy to collect nearby, or I'll sort postage if you're further out. Tell me what you've got and I'll make you an offer. No listings, no fees, no haggling with strangers.

The process

From cupboard to cash in three frames

You don't need to know what your kit is worth — that's my job. A photo of the pile on the kitchen table is plenty to get started.

  1. Frame 01 / 03

    Tell me what you've got

    Fill in the short form or WhatsApp a photo. Boxes, bags, "no idea what this is" — all fine.

  2. Frame 02 / 03

    Get a fair offer

    I come back to you myself, usually within a day. Nothing automatic, no pressure, no obligation.

  3. Frame 03 / 03

    Hand it over, get paid

    I send you a postage label and pay for it. When the kit arrives I check it over and pay you, usually within a day.

No listing, no fees, no "is this still available?" messages. I send the label and I pay for it, so you're not out of pocket either.

Fast

Paid without chasing

I check the kit over when it arrives, then pay by bank transfer or PayPal, usually within a day.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Is the offer automatic?

No. I look at what you've sent and get back to you myself. Ask me anything at that point, I'd rather talk it through than just hand you a number. Every offer is free and no-obligation, so if it's not for you, no hard feelings.

What if I don't know what my kit is called?

No problem at all. Send me a photo on WhatsApp or describe it as best you can — "silver camera with a big lens, says Olympus on it" is plenty to start with.

Who pays for the postage?

I do. Once we've spoken I'll email or message you a Royal Mail or DPD label to print and stick on the parcel. It costs you nothing but the packing tape.

What if it doesn't work?

Still send it. Plenty of what I buy is for parts or repair and it's worth something either way, a dead body with a good lens on it is a normal week. The form asks working or for parts, and that's only so neither of us is guessing. If you're not sure, say so.

How and when do I get paid?

Bank transfer or PayPal, whichever suits you. I check the kit over when it arrives and pay you straight after, usually within a day. If I've picked it up in person, it can be cash in your hand there and then.

Do you handle house clearances and estates?

Yes — I regularly buy complete collections. I can view in person locally, or you can send photos and I'll make an offer for the lot.
