How To Sell Your Camera Gear 2024
How to sell on Ebay, Facebook Marketplace, or on websites like mpb or keh
With a continuous cycle of newer and better cameras coming out, the need to upgrade is real, so if you are going to pick up the newest, shiniest thing, you need to be able to offload and sell your used gear! I have been surprised by how difficult and complicated it is, and how little this is talked about, so I’m going to take you through the process of selling my Sony A7C, and things to know before you try and sell to a shop, on eBay, Facebook, or websites like mpb or KEH ti see how long it's going to take to get rid of my camera, and how I hope to get the most money, as fast as I can… but still get her to a good home!

Great video Brian. I don't wanna sell my a7c. partly because its kind of my b-camera, and for the higher mega pickels. but mostly because its such a energy and time consumption to find legit buyers. You did great, but just considering how much time you spent on it, is bananas. BUT it was a great video, loved the story aproach you did here. Excellent video editing. I'm gonna share this video on my channel.

[@BrianCatalano]

I really appreciate that... means a lot! I also completely understand all that as if I knew how hard it was going to be to sell my A7C, I'd have reconsidered my purchases. However, that being said, I now know how to do it next time, so it won't take so long... Yet, now I have two cameras with 12 megapixels, so that jump in resolution will be huge for me. Whereas, you're right, going from 24 to 33 megapixels does not seem worth it. My main reason for buying the zve1 was to have two 10 bit cameras to cut between more easily... but I didn't think I'd love the zve1 as much as I have though, so I may end up keeping it!

[@OliverWiehe]

Great storytelling, I felt compelled to watch to end - I wanted to know what would happen! Excellent how you jumped around and filmed in different locations - plus the dates of when you filmed were cool - This video took a long time to make and I loved it - it has a Casey Neistat vibe to it! A video with good storytelling, editing, and titles should get a "billion views because it is a joy to watch (KZbin has to alter the algorithm to reward content like this) - Now you have a dilemma with the FX3 - ZV-E1 and the a7cii ! One has got to go - Stay tuned!

[@BrianCatalano]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your comment... I was hoping to try to tell a story with a mundane tutorial and wasn't sure if I succeeded or not but at least the attempt was fun. Yet, the fact you picked up on my Neistat-esque vibe I was going for, also helps a lot... So sincerely, thank you! And yes, I have that dilemma, and I'm fully aware of how grateful I am to do so, but I'm going to have to dwindle my cameras down... but now I'm not so worried about selling whichever camera I choose to let go of!

[@z352kdaf8324]

Lots of scammers selling on Facebook, they banned selling in the groups. Every week someone new gets called out as a scammer.

[@BrianCatalano]

That's probably the smartest thing to do, as a group... whenever I see a post, I report it. It's really a shame!

[@RodneyGracia]

Such great advice Brian. I don't have the patience or nerve to use Facebook. The multiple endless messages back and forth with accounts that may or may not be real/serious is such a colossal waste of time. Never again. I have opted to stick to MPB, KEH and BH to resell; low ballers for sure.

[@BrianCatalano]

Thank you, and I completely get that. I'm not sure I'd have the patience again as it took a long time. I sort of did this whole process just to research the topic, but next time I might just go with mpb too!

[@LivingInLAwithANJ]

Such a useful video and completely entertained throughout🎉

[@BrianCatalano]

Thank you so much! It was a challenge to try to make a somewhat boring topic entertaining...

[@francoismarc3]

I've been scammed a lot here in South Korea... The most recent one, is my ZV-E1, as you know. It is so difficult to sell things at close to their retail price if the product is in excellent condition. This video is very needed, so people can not be like me and avoid scams! Great pointers as well as how we should upload photos, etc. I thought you were on the toilet when you were boxing your gear hahahaah. I was laughing so hard like, "whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?" hahaha. Great video!

[@BrianCatalano]

Ha ha... That one shot, I was sitting on a chair trying to show me packing while still being close enough to the mic, so I used my 10-18 for a super wide shot, but you're right, it did look like I was in the bathroom!! Wait, have you sold your zve1 yet!?

[@francoismarc3]

@BrianCatalano I haven't sold it yet:( someone wanted to buy, and then they changed their mind. I'll just leave it up. It'll get sold, eventually! Hahaha

[@BrianCatalano]

@@francoismarc3 that's such a bummer! I'm still not over your camera shop guys... What website do you have it listed on?

[@davemil716]

I have been a longtime customer of eBay. Your video really helped me understand what options I have for selling some older gear. I think I will stay with eBay, the service I know!

[@BrianCatalano]

Really happy to hear that this helped... and appreciate you stopping by to let me know. I too think I'll go back to eBay as well. I wish selling directly to people was easier, but the minimal savings is often not worth the trouble! Thanks again!

[@ScottsReviews]

Nice work the last comment you made was probably the one that hit Home the hardest by another Camera you don’t need and start the process over again exactly what I do ha ha ha

[@BrianCatalano]

Ha ha... Thank you! And yes, I'm completely aware of how superfluous my buying habits are. Yet, I still can't stop!!

[@chosenideahandle]

Brian! It's been awhile since I've been here. So, it's gone! I still haven't bought another hybrid since selling my a7C. An FX30 has been my "everything" camera lately, which will be my "work only" camera soon. I unloaded my a7C on Kijiji locally in Toronto (it's owned by the eBay people). I've sold everything related to photo and video there for the last several years with good results. I've met a lot of cool people in the process! I'm excited for you and the a7CII!!! It'll probably be an a6700 for me with all my full frame glass now sold (also Kijiji).

[@BrianCatalano]

Hello! Good to see you again... Its been too long on my end, too! I just did a shallow deep dive (I know that's an oxymoron) on Kijiji hoping to find something similar here, but it definitely feels more personal than its parent company eBay. I can see why you sold through them... And I've been tempted on multiple occasions to pick up the FX30 as it's easily the best value cinema cam on the market. Yet, I went for the zve1 instead...and now A7Cii, so I guess I'm as addicted as indecisive! Thanks for coming by and glad to reconnect; I've rung your bell so I won't make that mistake again!

[@BrianCatalano]

Ps. Will you sell the fx30 for the a6700 just for the EVF?

[@chosenideahandle]

@@BrianCatalano Hey Brian! The FX30 is a money making machine right now, so it's not going anywhere lol! The a6700 will definitely be for the EVF and other photo-centric things I've been missing. The main thing is getting something lighter for travelling that I can use equally for photo and video. If I need a second camera for work, it'll be cool having something I can match with the FX30. I do end up doing some photography for work sometimes (I've actually been doing that with the FX30 lately). Macro photography is a hobby that's been lost for me, because the FX30 can't trigger a flash. It'll be cool to get back into that, as well as maybe some off camera flash portrait stuff.

[@BrianCatalano]

@@chosenideahandle that makes sense! I get that as I have the FX3 and ZV-E1, same sensor but completely different uses... But the a6700 is I think the best value camera Sony makes, and seeing you're doing more photography than that will be perfect for street photography and portraits!

[@TSTechGear]

Im making an official complaint Brian. And I think I speak for most of your subscribers. WE WANT MORE VIDEOS!! WE WANT MORE VIDEOS!!

[@BrianCatalano]

You're the best!! And you spoke into existence a new video (2hrs from the comment). Seriously, I always appreciate the support!!

[@VoicedTV2]

I hate trying to sell stuff online. I tried selling a monitor & with all of the run around, I removed the listing & just kept it 😂

[@BrianCatalano]

Ugh, I get that... This took so long to do, and I still have a bunch of stuff I need to get rid of but it's legit a headache especially for smaller stuff!

[@jas.cinema]

We should have bought the a7c, probably worth double with Brians signature

[@BrianCatalano]

Ha ha... Thank you! It would have been worth it just because I babied it so hard. I basically sang it lullabies before tucking into bed each night. I already miss it...
