Sell cameras and lenses for cash in Orange County
Orange County households tend to have a lot of gear in garages and storage: wedding and event kits, enthusiast mirrorless bodies, and older film cameras from a previous generation. Much of it sits idle after a move or an upgrade.
We visit Irvine, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Anaheim, Mission Viejo, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, and nearby cities. Text photos first. If it looks like a fit, we come to you and look at the whole bag.
Short answer: text photos of your cameras to (858) 247-2017. If it looks like a fit, we come to you in Orange County, look at everything in person, and pay cash before leaving.
Common camera situations in Orange County
- A hobbyist or part time event photographer retiring an older DSLR kit with several lenses
- A downsizing couple in Newport Beach or Laguna Beach with a closet of film cameras
- An estate cleanout in Fullerton or Orange where the camera bag turned up in a storage box
What to text us for cameras
- A photo of each body and each lens, with the front glass visible
- Any extras, such as flashes, battery grips, filters, and tripods
- Whether the gear was stored in a garage or storage unit, since humidity can affect lenses
What affects the value of cameras
- Brand and model, and whether it is a sought after film body or lens
- Working condition, including shutter, meter, and light seals on film cameras
- Lens condition: haze, fungus, scratches, and sticky aperture blades
- Included accessories such as flashes, bags, straps, and chargers
- Complete kits with original boxes
Broken or parts only cameras and very common point and shoot models are usually only worth a small offer or not a fit.
We do not quote prices from a single photo. Final offers come after we look at the items in person.
