With the physical shop having closed its doors some time ago and the number of items on the website slowly ticking down, I thought my buying days at WYC were over. But having read reviews... See more

Very efficient service. Was able to book an appointment to sell my equipment online, which meant no delay in the valuation. Carried out a very thorough evaluation of the equipment and gave me a detail... See more

WYC is my first choice for buying used camera gear. Recently purchased a Nikon F2. Apart from being a great camera it's condition was, in my opinion, better than described. There is only signs of sli... See more

Positive experience with this company.

Very positive experience with this company. I had a few analogue photography items to sell belonging to my late husband. I received a quotation and they arranged for a courier to collect the items. I received an updated quotation within a few days and agreed to their inspection findings. Any items they do not want can either be returned or placed in a charity auction.
The guys are friendly, funny and brilliant to deal with.

Selling some unused cameras

Selling some unused cameras . WYC did a fair appraisal , explained their reasoning and why some items rejected ( after inspection) . All contact with them was polite even though they are super busy .

In a digital world it’s god to find analogue cameras but more importantly customer service from a bygone age which seems to no longer exist in most places.

Fast at responding to emails, quick with an offer and customer service which is attentive and lets you know what is going on and where in the process you are.

Good to see an independent company making a difference.

Well done.

I had an assortment of Cameras for sale and decided to contact West Yorkshire Cameras for an estimate. A satisfactory preliminary estimate was provided and they arranged collection for me. After examination a fair price was offered and accepted. The price paid was just £5 below my own estimate. I would happily contact this company again.

Hi Michael,

Thank you! The teabags are what everyone really wants, forget the cameras 😸~ Howard

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great service.

We sent them some cameras and lenses for appraisal. They were quick to check and make us an offer, which we felt was fair. They also explained why some equipment wasn’t up to an offer and did say we could have it back, which we declined.

Great and considerate service!

I placed an order just for an inexpensive lens hood. When the item arrived, there was a note apologising for the delay (I hadn’t noticed a delay) and an ‘upgraded order’ which included not only my lens hood, but filters and a filter holder as well - all packed in little leather cases.
Of course, the real bonus is the Yorkshire tea bag that is always included with orders!
Good old-fashioned service!

Hi Rob,

Thank you so much for this, and sorry for the delay again. I'm glad we managed to find you a proper Rollei hood instead of the off-brand one. Enjoy the tea 😸 ~Howard

Really great

Bought a Vivitar flash. Excellent price, good quality, fast delivery. Plus a handwritten note and a cup of tea on them. Lovely shop too. Have bought many a camera from them over the years!

Great service and a good price offered…

Great service and a good price offered for my Bronica medium format camera. The team were really friendly and easy to deal with. I normally don't write reviews, but if you are considering selling your film camera equipment, definitely give the team at West Yorkshire Cameras a go!
