Selling your gear to
Camera Exposure
If we don’t have it in stock, it’s simply because one of our great community members hasn’t sold it to us yet.
Bring your equipment to Camera Exposure anytime from Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please note that we don’t accept equipment after 5 p.m. or on Sundays.
When you drop off your equipment, we’ll produce an inspection form with all serial numbers, as well as your name, phone number, driver's license and current address. We’ll keep a copy and provide one to you, too.
Within 1-2 weeks, we’ll conduct a thorough inspection of all equipment and have you return to the store to discuss our findings and make you an offer for the gear.
If we reach a deal, we’ll pay you by check or cash. You’ll again provide a copy of your driver's license, as well as a digital signature and thumbprint, which are mandated by our permitting.
If you choose not to sell us your equipment, that's no problem — we’ll have you initial and date on the inspection form that you’ve declined, and you can take their equipment home.
Please visit us promptly once we contact you for an offer. Equipment is considered abandoned six months after the drop-off date.
