Vintage equipment

[Sharon Blum]

We are in the process of clearing out my father's home. He has some very interesting items, mostly vintage. I was wondering if anyone knows of a place in the Washington, DC and/or Maryland area that purchases vintage cameras, screens, etc? Thank you so much. Sharon

I'm from the midlands in the uk, so i really dont have a clue unfortunately ...
We can maybe help in other ways though?
Help you put a value on them?
People/shops buying cameras to sell them on will never give you the best return, have you thought about selling them privately?

Hamish is absolutely right.

Further,...
Don't know about the DC area specifically, Sharon, but KEH is a well known on-line seller of used equipment, so they must buy. I presume you don't want to be bothered by shipping, though. How about offering on E-bay for pick-up only, or Craigslist?

Anyway, I did a quick Google and found this:
..:: PENNCAMERA.COM - Discount Digital Cameras, Camcorders & Digital Photo Printing. ::..
