Steve, some people just want to do things the easy way and some don't have the time or inclination to want to sell their stuff privately, others more savvy see the pounds shillings and pence cost of that. Like I said you have a choice, but from the dealers point of view you have to have significant margins on selling used kit to make it work
Don't disagree but I use value not price
If people are willing to drop their kit at a dealer for a quarter to a third of value that's their choice and good luck to them. That Jessops have chosen to use shark pricing which is actually sharp practice I will be and am insulted and I do not want to do nusiness with them as should I choose to hand over my camera for far less tha I have been elsewhere, I would feel I was stupid and would be counting my fingers afterwards. It also makes me think that they are able to offload these to other retail outlets at a big margin.
As said it's a value issue and revolves on scalping. Irrespective of people happy to deal at those prices, I would rather give my camera to a reputable charity.
Next phase.... A "Good" rated camera becomes "Poor" on inspection for minor issues. Another 33% reduction
