Hi There

Do you want to sell your old cameras or have you inherited a collection of photo gear?

FotoStrobo may be interested in buying it from you.
I’d be glad to provide you with an offer for your equipment.

Below you will find the instructions on how to do it. please read them carefully. :)

The way we work:

What we buy:
We primarily buy analogue (Film) and vintage gear.
We only buy digital cameras if they are smaller point and shoot cameras that were released between 2000 and 2015.

Valuation:
Usually we try to pay around 50% of the current market value for items that are interesting for us, if the cameras are in good and fully functional condition.
For cameras that are in original packaging and/or in very good condition, more can be paid.
For less popular items it is sometimes just 30% or even less for uninteresting or defective material. Sometimes we cannot pay anything at all.

Condition:
Most people assume that their cameras or inherited pieces are in full working order, but unfortunately the reality is often different.

Testing:
Winding up the camera once and releasing it is not an inspection.
Good external appearance often says little about the internal condition of the camera. Many defects or damages are in the details and need experience and knowledge to discover them.
Long and improper storage almost always results in damage.

Time and effort:
Many hours of work are put into all cameras, and I need to earn enough in the end to run the business and make a living from it. :)

That sounds a bit harsh, but it’s not meant like that. I just want to be honest. :)
