Avoid the common mistakes
Fortunately, the most common mistakes that
sellers make are easy to avoid. For example, make
sure that you include the expected accessories
like the battery, battery charger, strap and
viewfinder eyecup. If you can’t remember exactly
what came with the camera, there’s usually a list
on the outside of the original box, or you may be
able to find it detailed on the manufacturer’s or a
retailer’s website.
Also be careful to quote the correct version of
the camera that you have because there’s usually
a significant price difference between a mark I and
a mark II model.
Lastly, remove your memory card from the
card port, you would be amazed how many people
forget to do that.

Box it
Buyers like to see the original box with the kit that
they purchase and dealers may even give you a
higher price if you have it, so if you can, it’s worth
keeping any packaging in good condition.

Get a quote
A reputable dealer will give you a quote for your camera
gear before you commit to selling it. Park Cameras, for
example, has a dedicated page on its website where
you can put in all the details of the kit that you’re
selling, complete with guidance on how to grade the
condition of your kit. If you decide to go ahead with the
sale, Park Cameras will arrange for your kit to be
collected free of charge, and there’s a free return if
you’re not 100% satisfied with the final quote that’s
offered after they’ve received and assessed the gear.
