To sell your equipment via email, please submit all requests to [email protected]. Be sure to include your name, address, telephone number and a list of the equipment you wish to sell. Due to the volume of emails received, please allow at least 24 hours for a response.

We offer direct pickup of quoted camera gear from your residence, free of charge for quotes above $300. Reach out to us at 1-800-DIAL-KEH to schedule a pickup.

In-person drop-off and pick-up is available Monday through Friday from 10AM to 6PM at our retail store location.

The automated Quote Wizard is available online 24/7.  The equipment available on the Quote Wizard is a listing of the gear KEH is seeking to purchase.  If we are overstocked, certain items may not appear. Please note that the minimum quote amount is $50.00. 

If the exact item you are looking to sell is not available on the Quote Wizard, please contact the Purchasing Department by phone at 1-800-DIAL-KEH, or submit a request by email to [email protected] to determine the value of your equipment.  Please do not submit an online quote with the closest match, as this will provide inaccurate results.  Please note that prices on camera gear can fluctuate depending on supply and demand.

Once you have selected an item on the Quote Wizard, you will be asked to select the accessories you are sending in with your equipment and then the grade of your equipment.  The KEH grading system is for cosmetics only.  Grades LN-, EX+, EX, and BGN must be in working condition.  If the item needs to be repaired or adjusted, please email [email protected]  or call 1-800-DIAL-KEH to determine what the value of your equipment will be after the repair is added.

After a grade has been selected, the Quote Wizard will provide an estimated value of your item.  The estimated value quoted is based on the information supplied concerning the grade and description of your equipment.  The final payment price will be determined once the equipment is received and inspected by a KEH technician.

The estimated value does not reflect any repair costs required to bring your equipment to good working order.  Repair costs will be deducted from the final value and will be communicated to you prior to acceptance of the purchase agreement.

KEH will contact you to discuss any deviations in the grading or description of your equipment. 

Quoted values are valid for 14 days from the date the quote is submitted to KEH. 

We are not always able to make an offer to purchase certain older or broken items.  We will be happy to help you recycle your used photographic gear in an environmentally responsible manner if you would like to donate the equipment to KEH.

Simply inform the Purchasing Department at the time you submit your quote that you wish to trade your equipment, and a KEH buyer will apply your quote to available merchandise.

Upon receipt of your item(s), please allow up to 7 to 12 business days (Monday through Friday) to receive your offer. Busier times of the year may extend processing time.

You will be paid the final estimated value price, provided the final value is equal or higher than the total estimated value.  If your final quote is less than the original estimated value, you will be contacted for approval.

Upon approval of our offer, you may choose to have a check mailed to you via U.S. Mail or we can electronically transfer funds to you through your verified PayPal account (PayPal fees may apply). 

You may also apply all or part of the final value of your quote to a trade order.  Simply inform the Purchasing Department that you wish to trade your equipment, and a KEH buyer will apply your quote to available merchandise.

If you opt to receive Quick Pay (applicable for quotes submitted via the website), we will issue payment via the selected method (check or PayPal) without further contact, provided the final value meets or exceeds the original quoted amount.  If the final value is less than the original quote, you will be contacted for approval.

Should you decide not to accept our offer, we will ship your equipment back to you at no charge.  Free return shipping is only available for addresses located in the contiguous United States.

To check the status of your quote, please contact the Purchasing Department by phone at 1-800-DIAL-KEH, or by email at [email protected].  When inquiring about your quote, please include your first and last name and quote number (if available).  Due to the volume of emails received, please allow 24 hours (Monday through Friday) for a response. 

Quotes submitted within the contiguous United States are eligible to receive a prepaid FedEx shipping label. Unfortunately, at this time, the prepaid FedEx shipping label is not valid for quotes shipping from Hawaii, Alaska, APO or international addresses.

Call 1-800-DIAL-KEH, and we will provide instructions for printing multiple labels. A new label will need to be generated for each box. We will not refund shipping costs incurred independently of the provided prepaid FedEx shipping label.

It is important to note that the tracking number for your shipment will be created and provided to you upon drop off at an authorized FedEx drop off location.

To ship your gear to KEH, please follow these guidelines:

1. Enclose a copy of your Quote Wizard evaluation inside the box. We recommend that you retain a list of the items shipped and their serial numbers for your records. Your quote evaluation may be delayed without complete information.

2. Carefully package your equipment. Choose an appropriately sized box for the items, and be sure to pad the box with materials such as bubble wrap or packing paper. KEH Camera will not be responsible for improperly packaged items and any resulting damage. To ensure proper return service, please drop off the package directly at an authorized FedEx location in person and ask for a receipt with tracking information.

  • For shipments containing the equipment (camera, drone, etc) which the batteries power: print this PDF and affix to outside of box.
  • For shipments containing only batteries, or shipments not containing the device a battery powers: print this PDF and affix to outside of box.

Regulations require a warning label. Failure to do so may prevent proper shipment, resulting in delays or returned packages.

Generally manufacturer’s Instant Rebates are already subtracted from the price of eligible products. On some occasions a manufacturer may offer conditional rebates that require the purchase of more than one product, in those instances we have to subtract the multi-product discount after all items are added to your cart. If a product is eligible for a Manufacturer mail-in rebate, we will ship a form with your merchandise. If you have any questions about obtaining a multi-product conditional rebate or you do not receive a rebate form for eligible products please contact a KEH customer service representative at 1-800-342-5534 or email [email protected] and we will be more than happy assist you.

International Shipping: KEH Camera ships internationally via FedEx's international economy service type. Prices generally start at $49.95 but vary depending on the destination and final weight of the gear. The best way to estimate the amount KEH collects for shipping is to use the shipping calculator during the checkout process on KEH.com.

Please note: the shipping amount KEH charges only covers the cost of shipping the item from the US to your country. You may be subject to separate import fees such as taxes or duties that are assessed after the shipment reaches your country. Import fees vary greatly from country to country, and in some cases may even prohibit the import of certain types of used equipment. Please check with your local government for a breakdown of import and duty costs prior to placing an order.

Any additional taxes, duties, or fees assessed for import are the responsibility of the customer, and are normally collected by the courier upon import into your country. If a package arrives and you find the import fees prohibitive, we can contact FedEx and request that the package be returned to the shipper, however a refund would be less shipping and any fees to return the package.

If possible, pack the equipment in the original packaging. If the original packaging is not available, then wrap each individual item in bubble wrap. Newspaper may be used if bubble wrap is not available. Be sure to wrap each item completely and secure with tape. The tape should never come in contact with the surface of the equipment as it may damage the finish.

Choose an appropriate size box for the items to be shipped. Too small may not allow room for ample padding. Too large may allow for items to bounce around. If you are reusing a box, remove any old labels to prevent shipping mix-ups.

Pad the box with a material such as bubble wrap or crumbled or shredded paper while keeping the equipment in the center of the box. The equipment should not come in contact with the box. Make sure enough packing material has been used allowing for no give at the top.

  • Keep a list of the items shipped and their serial numbers.
