Selling a Polaroid camera in Las Vegas
Las Vegas runs on hospitality and has one of the most transient workforces in the country. Households arrive, furnish quickly and leave again, so furniture and appliances turn over far faster than in a comparable city.
Hospitality employment turns over quickly and so do the households attached to it. That keeps a constant supply of nearly-new furniture at low prices, because a lot of it was bought cheaply and used briefly.
The valley is flat, gridded and easy to drive, with generous parking almost everywhere, so collecting large items is simple. Summer heat means most people prefer early morning or evening.
A lot of furniture here was bought cheaply and used briefly, which is good news on price and less good on construction. Check the frame on anything upholstered rather than judging by how new it looks.
Handing it over in Las Vegas
Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.
What Polaroid cameras are worth
What lifts the price
- Working flash and functioning rollers
- Original strap, case and manual
What pulls it down
- Cameras taking discontinued film formats
- Corroded battery contacts
Working out what yours is worth
- Shine a torch inside the bellows in a dark room to find leaks
- Clean the rollers and run a test pack if you have one
Getting it ready
- Check which film format it takes and confirm that format is still in production, since several are not.
- Clean the rollers inside the film door, which is what causes streaked and blotchy pictures.
Photograph
- An actual photograph it has taken, held next to the camera
- The model name and any battery compartment, plus every scuff or crack
Put in the description
- Whether that film is still manufactured
- Battery type, and whether the camera takes batteries or the film pack does
Light and easy to post. Remove any film pack and batteries before sending, and pad the bellows on folding models, which crease permanently if compressed.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
