Cash Generators

I don't know if I have posted this in the right place. I am looking to sell my camera (the photographic not video kind) and was thinking of taking it to Cash Generator. Does anyone know if they would give a good deal? It's a FujiFilm 10mp, 1 3/4 years old.

  • Camera prices have depreciated quite a lot so dont expect a huge amount. You can get 12-14mb camera for under £60 now

    £40 for a 12mb camera http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.209-8899.aspx I know it isnt like for like but just giving it an example of how prices have gone down

    It's a J120.
    I also have a really old one (never use it) which I saw in Cash Generator for £4.99 before Christmas.

    okay they go on ebay for 49.99 now cash generator usually give you half that minus vat so youd get around 15-20 quid for it

  • they will only base the price on which model actually sells - it's ok if there are a dozen models with a 'buy it now' price of £50 quid odd, but they'll specifically look for one that's got bids on it and basically give you a quarter of that price.

    They'll then sell it for half that price.
  • Try and ebay it as you will get slightly more cash that way otherwise your looking at around £25 for it.
