Where to Sell camera gear - UK

[Moakesy]

I’m looking to sell me Sony gear and am frustrated by the options. I feel like there must be a dedicated site, but I can’t find one. Google searches haven’t worked so far.

So far I’ve tried

- Facebook marketplace. Loads of time wasters or people making silly offers.
- eBay. Used this before but paying approx £300 to sell makes it less attractive.
- Wex photographic. Made a silly offer (55% of what they sell it for).

im not looking for any magic bullet of high price for no fees, I just want something that will attract serious buyers.

I've gotten reasonable prices selling camera gear on 'Shpock' - seems to be less crap and scammers than gumtree, though I do have a sensitive nose to African Princes.

Also any photog forums that you're part of have a classifieds? Seems to be safest option in my experience and usually gets the best prices.

What about mpb.com probably same ballpark as wex but worth a try

If you're a regular seller on eBay they often send out "Sell for £1" offers - maximum selling fees of £1, and I usually hold onto all my stuff until then. You need to check your messages on eBay regularly as they don't send offers out by email.

Cheers

Thanks all, I'll give those a go. Used mpb.com a go before, they gave better prices than Wex but it took ages for them to pay me. I'll ask for a quote as a comparison to Wex.

I'll check the 'sell for a £1 thing definitely.

It’s £1 selling on eBay this weekend.

There’s also a marketplace sub forum on here. I’ve seen other camera gear listed.
