DeKlutterNow

Sell cameras and lenses for cash in San Diego County

San Diego County has no shortage of camera gear sitting in closets. Surf and travel photographers, hobbyists who moved on to a phone, and families clearing out a parent's home all end up with bodies, lenses, and bags they never use.

DeKlutterNow is based in Oceanside, so North County and the coast are close, and we also visit San Diego, La Jolla, Chula Vista, and El Cajon. You text photos, we confirm interest, and we come to your door to look at everything in person.

Short answer: text photos of your cameras to (858) 247-2017. If it looks like a fit, we come to you in San Diego County, look at everything in person, and pay cash before leaving.

Common camera situations around San Diego

  • A family clearing out a parent's film cameras, lenses, and slide projector gear
  • A military household moving out of the area and trimming down before the move
  • A hobbyist upgrading who has older digital bodies and a drawer of lenses to sell

What to text us for cameras

  • The brand and model names, or a photo of the top plate and lens barrel
  • Whether the camera and lenses have been used recently and if anything sticks or does not fire
  • Your city, so we can tell you when we can come by

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We do not quote prices from a single photo.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.

Questions about selling cameras in San Diego

Do you buy camera gear in North County San Diego?
Yes. We are based in Oceanside, so Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, San Marcos, Escondido, and Encinitas are the closest stops. We also visit San Diego proper and the South Bay.
Can I sell just one lens or a single camera?
Yes, if it is a model with real collector or user demand. Text a photo and the model name and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth a visit.
What if I inherited camera gear and know nothing about it?
That is common. Photograph everything together, including the cases and any manuals, and we will go through it with you and explain what is what.
