Having a clear-out, and have got the following which are probably a little niche now but appear to still have some value. Nervous about listing them on eBay given the recent rule changes making it easier for buyers to scam sellers, but Gumtree is probably worse and they're probably TOO niche for FB Marketplace.

...so where would you list these - want them gone (reasonably) quickly rather than waiting months for the best price

- Canon Powershot A75. I thought this would be a paperweight by now but apparently not quite.
- Canon Powershot A720IS. Very surprised by this.
- Canon EOS 20D

Thanks.

Without going down to the gutter price levels of the digital goods version of Webuyanycar (CEX) i fear Ebay is the only place where you're going to find buyers who know what your cameras are actually worth (to those who collect them at any rate).

i would imagine there going to offer £10 each for them as they are all sub £50 for working ones on ebay

I dug an early 2000s Fuji Finepix that was a bit battered and sold on eBay last year for over £50 when a few years earlier they were only going for a tenner so I didn't bother selling. Seems there is demand now for a camera that's not a smart phone.

Is there a demand for decent film cameras? One of the guys I work with brought about 5 in and with all different lenses etc. Seems a shame to just bin them.

Interesting.

The A720 I was wondering about keeping as a pocket camera, but Havoc Jr has an M50-II body with a couple of lenses, and Little Miss Havoc shares our underwater TG-6 with me, so even with the substantial optical zoom there's probably little point.

Definitely, under a real resurgence at the moment. What's he got?

I’ll have a look on Monday when back in work as he brought them in to see if anyone wanted them.
