Pros

• Reputable and well-established dealer for used photography and video gear
• Provides a six-month warranty and a straightforward return policy
• Uses actual photos of the specific items for sale rather than stock images
• Vets and tests equipment before listing for resale
• Convenient alternative to private sales on platforms like eBay

Cons

• Condition assessments may be downgraded after items are received, leading to lower final payouts
• Trade-in and sale offers are often lower than what can be achieved through private sales
• Occasional reports of slow shipping and delivery times
• Mixed experiences with the accuracy of the initial online quote versus the final inspection

Caveats

• The selling experience is notably more mixed than the buying experience due to subjective condition grading
• Some users report better value when trading gear toward a new purchase rather than selling for cash

Best for

• Photographers looking for vetted used gear with the security of a warranty
• Buyers who want to see the exact condition of an item through unique product photos
• Users who value convenience and safety over the maximum possible payout from a private sale

Avoid if

• You want the absolute highest price for your equipment (private sales typically pay more)
• You are in an immediate rush for shipping or a quick sale payout
