TRADE-IN OR SELL CAMERA GEAR
You don’t have to wait for one of our big Camera Trade-In Trade-Up Events to exchange your used camera gear! You can do it from the comfort of your home with our online Request for Quote tool! We work with our partners Rob and Josh from Gulf Coast Camera. They are expert camera appraisers who travel around the country just to buy people’s used gear. Now you can request a quote online any time!
For the best value: Trade-in Credit vs. Check in the Mail
To receive the most value for your used gear, choosing a credit at Horn Photo is the way to go. You will receive an extra 10% for your gear when you do. For example, if the cash (mailed check) offer is $600, your trade-in credit offer will add an extra 10% to that, making it $660.
HOW IT WORKS:
Complete our "Request for Quote" form (link to form below)
Be as accurate as you can with the description. Include photographs, especially if you're not sure of what you have. You will receive an email confirmation that we have received your request.
Receive your Quote
Within one business day, you will receive an email with our cash offer and trade offer quote. You will have 5 days to reply and accept the offer.
Get your PRE-PAID shipping label & send us your gear
When we receive your acceptance email, we will email you back within one business day.
Print out the email offer and check the box for the cash or trade option you prefer.
Next, print out the attached PRE-PAID shipping label. Then, carefully pack your items in a box along with the printed email quote with your payment selection.
Secure the PRE-PAID shipping label to the outside of the box and drop it off at any USPS office.
We confirm your gear and make payment
Within 5 business days of receiving your gear via mail, we will examine it to confirm it is in the condition as you described. Assuming everything is accurate, we will make payment within 24 hours as either a trade-in credit at Horn Photo, or a check.
If you elected a trade-in credit, we will send a Confirmation Email to you that your credit is ready whenever you are, to be applied something new.
You may take that email, and a photo ID to Horn Photo to use immediately, or at your convenience. We will also have a record of your credit in our store database.
If on the off-chance your equipment is not as described, we will email you with a new quote for your consideration.
If you do not approve of the new quote, we will return your equipment via USPS AT OUR EXPENSE.
