$118 Camera Auction Win Unboxing - Can I make my money back?

- Опубликовано: 19 мар 2023
- There are some strange cameras in this box! But hopefully some winners too! I spent $118 on 19 different cameras and camcorders. We'll go through each one, assign a value, and see if we can maximize our flipping investment and come out the other side with some working and valuable electronics! This is one of the weirdest buys I've had in a while, make sure you stay until the end to see a breakdown of how I did on this purchase, and if there's any profit to be had! My full time job is buying and selling electronics, and this video is second in a series of buying lots of equipment to test and resell.

Your videos are literally therapeutic to watch. I've been binging for like 4 days now. 😅
Glad you like them! And thanks for watching!
Haha - I’ve got an old Mavica MVC-FD85 in good condition but it’s literally been decades since I used it. And SOMEWHERE I have a floppy adapter with a memory stick! I’d be willing to give it up if you could use it.
Love these kind of vids, from a non seller point of view I personally would have kept some of the ones you binned (I’m a sucker for a lost cause)..
Thanks @derekcoe9633 I'm a sucker too sometimes! For example, I spent way too long messing around with that unbranded terrible quality camera!
Appreciate the video! Entertaining and informative, glad I found the channel
Thanks @sammoodyiphone , I really appreciate your viewership!
Old Floppy disks are good when you can format tham there about 1-5 USD
Thanks for the info!
I have two of the Sony Mavica floppy disk cameras that I bought new a long time ago.Still working 😊
Thats great! Cool cameras, and decent build quality as probably half that I get are in workin’ shape, and they are 20ish years old
Same! I have an fd85 in almost perfect condition under my bed. Pictures are actually quite nice in well lit areas. Only problem is a floppy will hold all of like 4-5 pictures lol.
@@bllstrt6 Yes 👍
Lord Voldermort.. That is what made me subscribed :D hahaha.. Keep up these videos.. very entertaining and thanks for sharing!
Haha! Thanks! I am going to try to publish 2-3 of these a week
Enjoying your videos!
Christopher Frost did a review of that crappy ‘Camera’ unit about 1.5 years ago.
It was pretty funny.
That sounds hilarious, anything that exposes how poor quality that thing is, I'm down for! Thanks!
They're all over Temu and AliExpress
I spend the last week watching every little video, it's a unique content worth every minute to watch and enjoy
Mighty kind of you, and 😊 thanks!
great content! keep it up!
Thanks!!
I am glad you are doing this, and not me. If you were in Germany, I would ship you my box of old cameras.
Thank u!
this old digicams are nice for infrared conversion, i remove the ir filter in front of the ccd sensor and fun fact, i need as a 720nm filter in front of the lens this old disks. Cut the inside of the disk in a shape to cover the lens and tape it on. have fun
Very interesting! I buy quit a bit of digi cams at my local thrift stores, but I mostley buy cameras that I know are worth something. I do find that a great deal of them don't have the chargers and am wondering if it is worth buying the chargers to be able to resell them, or don't bother? I do have a universal charger that I use to test and see if the cameras work though.
I do mostley buy film cameras and have had pretty good luck in selling them locally. Ebay kind of scares me with all the fees, buyers returning Items and being stuck with shipping fees, not to mention all the work it takes to package and ship.
Thrift stores are definitely great spots to score solid deals, glad to hear you've found some! I've definitely sold cameras without chargers, but it lowers the price you can sell for and you have to list it in multiple areas "Camera and battery ONLY", so customers aren't upset with they get only the camera and battery. I've been selling on eBay now for close to 20 years, and once you get the hang of it, it goes pretty smooth. My overall return rate is around 3% I think on eBay, and it's a combination of good pictures, good descriptions, and fully testing that's made it so low, otherwise it might be 5-10%. Again, a lot of that came through trial and error. There are certain brands of point and shoots I don't really list any more because their quality/performance is so low that it will almost always result in a poor experience for the customer.
Some of those cameras like the Mavica may actually be worth what you paid for the box. even if you got the Mavica into somewhat sellable condition and one or two others, you at least would have recouped what you paid probably. I know people are looking for some of those in good condition as a bit of a collector's item (mainly vintage PC enuthsiasts). That Olympus camera (the 35mm one that's black) probably could go for $200 if it works good and the lens is in good shape. I see those used on KEH for about $225 to $300.
Just awesome
Thanks!
Meguiars PlastRX is great for taking scratches off LCD screens and plastic
Thanks for the tip, I am going to look into it!
There are american defense systems that require floppy, there's a company that revonditions floppy disc's fir that, so it's valuable item
Hey, your contents kept me enternained!!!
Nice! Thanks for watching!
Those camcorders are nice to shoot longer. They way you hold is it easier. I have such a cheap Canon. Unfortunately te video quality is not that good.
That camera is from Wish,. It looks like a superzoom but has no optical zoom and it says 16 megapixels but that likely is just interpolated. they sell it at 28 € and it is marketed as a professional camera.
Good ol ‘wish /alibaba/cheap Amazon cameras. Just utter rubbish 😊
I have a Mavica (not sure model) that I bought new in 99 or 00. It's in perfect cosmetic condition and works perfectly as well. I think there's some sort of special floppy as well as memory sticks. Sparingly used. I wonder what it's worth to some collector?
Nice! 👍 Sony MVC-FD series, maybe 85? Most of ‘em that are tested in good condition currently sell for $30-50, but will vary a bit model to model.
@@pricklypearcamera You nailed it. It's 1.3 MP and has a working Sony floppy disk to memory stick adapter. Also has the AC adapter/charger. I don't wish to sell it because it's got sentimental value.
Curious why you decided to offer free shipping? How much did that improve your sales?
I've done both paid shipping and free shipping over my 20 years selling on eBay. For me, I've found free shipping to be easier for people to understand final prices, and for international buyers, given they have to pay additional shipping/fees, it's also a little less muddled than doing calculated shipping. But, as long as the overall offer price all in is comparable, I don't think it matters too much.
The lens needs lubricating on the dsc w 50
From the condition of the strap hanging out of the bag for that 1st Sony floppy dicky camera I knew exactly what it was going to look like! 🤢
Haha, true!
I saw that you said in a different video you sell used cameras as a business. Is there a website or way to contact you ?
My ebay store is california545, which you’re able to contact me thru
1:04 - looks a bit like a re-branded Olympus point and shoot.
Yeah, it kind of looks like a mix between an Olympus and a Kodak Pixpro...
So, your shipping is free in all your merchandise? What about the packaging, cleaning + your most expensive expensive "Your know how"!
Hi! Not sure if you were referencing me shipping items out to customers or if the incoming box was free shipping? For most of the items I sell, I do have free shipping setup, and just factor in the costs of time/packaging into the overall "potential profit" number.
@@pricklypearcamera The out going shipping., but you answered my question. Thanks!
By the volume you are selling, wouldn't it make sense to create an own webpage with a shop and payment processing functions? That's not rocket science anymore and if you have just a little knowledge about web-page customization you could do that yourself easily.
I do have the pricklypear URL at least (no website yet!) Up until the last few years there were some sales tax issues that I didn't want to wade into, but it appears that the newer platform providers can handle all of that. It's a good idea.... 🤔
I don't understand how these have any value whatsoever. You can purchase a 10-12 yo DSLRthat takes much better photos.
You can buy a cd for way less than a vinyl but people prefer what they prefer
I have two nephews that need some distraction / direction for their energy, they both wanted to try photography with me, they are not getting hold of one of my Canon 5DS, I’m not even going to give them access to my old Canon EOS 300D to use as it has significant sentimental value, however I bought an EOS 20D and 30D with kit lens from eBay.
