When you sell us your camera gear, you can choose to trade or cash out. If you select trade, you'll receive a trade credit for the appraised value of your gear plus a 10% trade bonus. For example, if your gear is valued at $1,000, you'll get $1,000 plus an additional 10% ($100) in trade bonus, giving you a total trade credit of $1,100 to use on future purchases.

You can apply your trade credit towards future purchases on our website, over the phone, or in our retail store. For every $1 of appraised value you redeem, $0.10 of your trade bonus will be applied to that purchase, decreasing your outstanding appraised value and trade bonus proportionately until exhausted or redeemed for cash.

You can cash out your trade credit at any time. Your trade credit will expire after 90 days at which time you’ll be required convert the outstanding balance for cash. When converting a trade credit to cash you’ll receive only the balance of the appraised value of your gear (not including the 10% bonus). Any unused portion of the 10% bonus will be forfeited and will not be paid out.

We appraise your camera gear based on its condition, model, and current market demand. Once we complete the appraisal, we'll let you know the trade-in value.
