FAQ

Questions people ask

Do I have to accept the offer?

Not at all. Every offer is free and no-obligation — if it's not for you, no hard feelings, and your kit stays exactly where it is.

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.

How and when do I get paid?

Bank transfer or cash, within 24 hours of me receiving and checking the kit. Collection sellers are usually paid on the spot.

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.
