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

Tricks of the trade
The lens I sent in was fully working with no problems. They said the lens body was cracked and they could not offer a price. When I received the lens back, it was in a totally scrap condition. If they are doing these sort of tricks when sending items in, then I want nothing else to do with them. The comments I make are honest and truthful which is more than I can say about you. It seems odd to me that the other 2 lenses sent in with the cracked one were not damaged in transit. It must have been damaged after you received them. Also, regarding the 50mm lens I purchased from you as a P/X, I noticed traces of oil on the aperture blades which was not described on the sales information. I would suggest you look at your inspection department regarding the shoddy work being carried out.

Reply from West Yorkshire Cameras
Hi Colin,
I can understand that you're upset about your lens, but we assess items as we receive them. From our assessment notes I directly quote: "Plastic covering on the lens is cracked." If an item is damaged - then we can't accept it. We returned it to you in the condition it was delivered to us. Either it was previously damaged and escaped your attention, or it was damaged in transit to us.
I feel that I must object to your insinuation that we have employed some sort of trick or purposely damaged the lens. We go to great lengths to be as transparent as possible throughout the entire selling process. I hope that you reconsider your review.

Good but...
Good service and delivery. The item (a box camera) was in excellent condition but the viewfinders and lens took a lot of cleaning to make it usable (and reference to the web on how to get at them). The two rolls of film I ordered with the camera were cheap but use by date was June 23 so hope its been kept in the fridge - 1st roll has developed OK

Great service, no hassles
Very helpful and friendly service to deal with. Two cameras I had were collected and valued. Price agreed and payment made very quickly.
No hassles compared to the 'wild west' of the internet auction and selling houses

Great guys to do business with
Great guys to do business with! I was happy with the prices they gave me on some disused camera equipment. In my experience, I cannot fault them. Definitely use them again!

Recommended. I have bought much photographic equipment from West Yorkshire Cameras and have always received good service. Used equipment has been checked by experienced people before it is ready to sell.
