Selling your used video camera can bring in some extra cash.
When looking to sell your used video camera, remember there are many tools out there to help you, both in print and online. You should think about setting the right price, and with a quick scan of photography classified ads you can know exactly what your camera is worth on the used video camera market.
Instructions
1. Make an inventory of any damage your camera has. The first thing you'll want to let potential buyers know about your camera is if there is any physical damage, such as scratches or other signs of wear. Check the lens, lens cover, and back screen, as these areas are most susceptible to damage.
2. Take pictures of your camera. Take one from the front, to give the buyer a good idea of what your camera looks like, and take another of the back--showing the screen and the controls--so he can see the layout. If there are any scratches or defects, take a close-up picture of them.
3. List the features if your camera. For example, if you were selling a Canon EOS 450D, you would want to mention the ergonomic design and live viewer. These are some of its top features, which can help sell the camera. Prospective buyers will also need to know other details such as number of mega pixels, dimensions, and weight. You can find a full description of the camera's features on the manufacturer's website.
4. Research online camera sites such as bhphotovideo.com or samys.com, to determine the average price for your camera model. Then take into account your camera's age and damage when setting your sales price. You want to set a price that both you and potential buyers will be happy with.
5. List your camera on an online auction website, uploading the photos, the manufacturer's description, and a description of any scratches or defects your camera has. Examples of some sites include eBay.com, eBid.net, and Amazon.com.
6. Place an ad in a camera magazine. The magazine's contact details are usually found in the "Contact Us" section on their website, or in the back of the magazine. For example, contact the ad sales department at "Digital Camera World" or "What Digital Camera" magazine and place a classified ad for you camera.
