It’s good to see camera retailers still holding their own, despite intense pressure from Amazon – it makes a lot of sense to buy a mirrorless camera or lens from them, as you’ll get specialist advice.
Park Cameras, which has physical stores in London and Sussex as well as a strong online presence, is holding one of its regular ‘Trade-in Thursdays’ tomorrow. As the name suggests, it’s an opportunity to turn one of your old cameras or lenses into cash or part-exchange them against a new product.
You will need to visit Park Cameras’ Burgess Hill (West Sussex) or central London stores on Thursday 13th February, where the team will inspect your kit whilst you wait.* Both stores are open until 7.30pm but you are advised to allow at least 30 minutes for your kit to be checked out.
You can then part-exchange there and then, or if you simply want the cash, this will be in your bank account the very next day.
*Whilst not essential, Park Cameras recommends getting a quote prior to your visit by using its online form.
