The price is only half of selling a camera. The other half is simple but important: when does the money reach you, how, and what do you need to have ready? Sellers ask us this on almost every call, so this guide puts the answers in one place.
How you are paid depends on how you sell: at a doorstep pickup, at one of our stores, or by courier. Each route is covered below, followed by the ID and invoice questions that come up most.
In our pickup cities, such as Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad, the order is always the same:
If something material is different from what you entered, the agent re-quotes on the spot with the reason, and you are free to decline. Payment only happens once you have agreed.
We have walk-in stores in Delhi (Ganesh Nagar), Pune (Katraj) and Chandigarh (Mohali). The camera is checked in front of you and paid for on the spot. Call the store before you visit so the right person is there; the store pages list the numbers and hours. Our Pune guide and Chandigarh guide explain when walking in makes sense.
At pickup and at the store you can choose how you are paid:
Above Rs 10,000 we prefer bank transfer. If you want the money in your account, keep your bank or UPI details ready before the agent arrives, so the payment is not held up while you look for them.
If you live outside our pickup cities, you can sell by courier from anywhere in India. The payment works differently, because the camera is not in front of us:
The courier charge is shared half-half: Sell Your Gadget pays half and you pay half. To make sure the match on arrival is straightforward, show everything clearly on the call and pack only what you showed. Our guide on preparing for the video call check walks through it, and is it safe to sell a camera by courier covers the common worries.
We take a government ID proof at the time of pickup, to confirm your identity for verification. It is a standard check on any second hand purchase, and it protects genuine sellers as much as it protects us. Keep it ready with the camera.
A bill is not required to sell, but it helps in two ways. It adds to the price as one of the accessories, and it settles the question of how long ago you bought the camera. Without a valid invoice, a camera is treated as out of warranty, even if it was bought recently. If you have lost the bill, you can still sell.
The figure at the top of each model page follows the current market value of that model. If you checked a price a few days or weeks ago and it is different today, that is the reason, and the price offered is the current one. If you are ready to sell, check your price on the model page close to the day you book, so the figure you see is the figure you are paid. Our second hand camera price list shows the current "up to" rate for every model we buy, and our Sony ZV-E10 and Nikon D5600 pages are two of the most used.
On the spot, after the agent has checked the camera and the condition matches what you described.
Yes, cash is one of the options at pickup and at the store. Above Rs 10,000 we prefer bank transfer.
90% of the agreed price, before your parcel reaches us. The remaining 10% is paid after it arrives and is matched with the video call.
