Photo Quote, Model Page or WhatsApp: Three Ways to Price Your Camera

Photo Quote, Model Page or WhatsApp: Three Ways to Price Your Camera

September 13, 2026

There are three ways to get a price for a used camera from us: send a photo, use the model page, or message us on WhatsApp. They all lead to the same place — a price that is confirmed when the camera is checked — but they ask different things of you and suit different sellers.

This guide compares them honestly, including the limits of each, so you can pick the one that fits the camera in front of you.

1. The photo quote

Our instant photo quote is built for the most common problem sellers have: not knowing exactly which camera they own. You take a photo of the front of the camera, where the model name is printed, in good light. The tool identifies the camera, you enter your mobile number, and your price appears.

A few details matter:

  • The lens is a separate photo. Right after the camera is found, you are asked for one photo of the lens, taken straight on at the front ring where the focal length is printed (for example 18-55mm). The body and the lens are priced separately.
  • It is an estimate. A photo cannot show shutter count, sensor condition or internal faults, so the final price is confirmed after inspection.
  • What happens to your photo. The photo is checked by Google Gemini AI only to identify the camera model. It is not used to train AI, and it is deleted after 90 days.

How often does it hit a camera we do not list? Between 4 and 13 September 2026, 145 photo quotes were made. For 75 of them, the camera identified did not match a model in our catalogue. That is not a failure of the photo; it is a sign that the photo quote is where people with unusual cameras start. Those sellers are the ones who should message us next.

2. The model page

If you already know your model, the model page gives you the most control. Search your model, and the figure at the top of the page is the maximum we pay for that model in Flawless condition. Then you answer four inputs:

  • Condition grade: Flawless, Good, Average or Below Average.
  • How long ago you bought it: 1–4 months, 4–12, 12–18, 18–24 or above 24 months.
  • Accessories you still have: for a camera, original box, charger, bill or invoice, bag and battery.
  • Lens: added as its own line on the next step.

The advantage is transparency. You can see what each answer does to your figure. The model page is also where each camera's own details live — for example the Canon EOS R10, Sony ZV-E10 or Nikon D5600 pages show our purchase records and the lenses sellers most often add. To compare the current "up to" figure across all models, use the second hand camera price list.

The limit: if your camera is not listed, there is no model page for it.

3. WhatsApp or a call

For a camera that is not on our website, our FAQ gives one answer: get in touch by call, WhatsApp or Instagram, and we will check whether we buy that model and quote you manually. The number is +91 95608 22859.

This route also suits sellers with a bag of mixed items — a body, two lenses, a flash and a drone, say — where filling in separate forms is slow. Send clear photos of each item, the model names if you know them, and what accessories you have.

The limit is that a person has to reply, so it is not instant in the way the other two are.

Which one should you use?

  • "I don't know what model it is." Photo quote.
  • "I know the model and want to see how accessories change the price." Model page.
  • "My camera is old, rare, or not on the site." WhatsApp or call. Our guide to working out a Canon 1500D's resale value shows the model-page route in detail for one popular camera.
  • "I'm selling a lens only." Use sell camera lens.

What happens after any of the three

The route you choose only changes how you get the first number. After that, the process is the same. In our pickup cities, such as Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai, an agent checks the camera in front of you and records a short power-on video; if it matches what you described the price stands, and if something material is different the agent re-quotes with the reason. Outside those cities, the check happens on a video call before you pack, and you can sell by courier. You can see every step on our FAQ.

Frequently asked questions

Is the photo quote price final?

No. It is an estimate based on your photo and answers. Shutter count, sensor condition and internal faults are checked at pickup, so the final price is confirmed after inspection.

My camera was identified but it is not in your catalogue. What now?

Call or WhatsApp +91 95608 22859. We will check whether we buy that model and quote you manually.

Do all three methods include the lens?

No method puts the lens in the body price. The lens is always a separate line.
