Adorama's Used department
This will be my first experience with trading in used equipment to Adorama. I was wondering if anyone else has traded in used equipment or items to them and what that experience was like? I have always had good customer service from them and just am curious about what to expect. I have photographed every inch of the lens just as a precaution if they do any damage to it while examining it. Any other suggestions before it ships?
Thanks to anyone with any thoughts on the matter.

I'm sure they're trustworthy, but because of overhead, don't expect prices to be great. You're better off trying to sell it yourself like anything else. If you don't have the time/desire to deal with it. They'll be happy to look at it, and send it back if you don't like the offer (usually half of what they sell it for).

And then there's time invested in managing separate auctions.
Selling in bulk to Adorama starts to look like a good value when you consider all the details...
I sell everything on amazon for this reason. It's a flat 8% commission for photography gear and much easier to list an item.

The best kept secret! I killed it on Amazon. It does take forever to get paid though.

It is a best kept secret. So much so, I couldn't figure out how to do it when I had to sell stuff:/ It's been awhile though and I'm a little dense at times.
