Frequently asked questions
What is a camera auction?
A camera auction is an online sale where buyers bid on individual cameras, lenses, action cameras and photography accessories rather than paying a fixed retail price. At Simon Charles, our weekly camera auctions feature DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, GoPro action cameras, camcorders and accessories from major brands, with bidding typically starting at £1 per lot.
Are the cameras new or pre-owned?
We list both. Some camera lots are new in box from clearance or surplus channels, some are unboxed but unused, and many are pre-owned, ex-display or customer returns. Every lot description states the condition as supplied by the vendor, including any known issues.
How much do DSLRs and mirrorless cameras typically sell for at auction?
Hammer prices vary widely depending on age, brand, condition and what's included. Older DSLR bodies often sell for £20 to £80, mid-range bodies and mirrorless cameras typically £50 to £250, and recent flagship bodies and pro lenses can attract higher final prices. Final prices are usually well below new retail.
Are GoPro action cameras genuine and working?
GoPro lots are listed as supplied by the vendor, with the model and condition shown in the title and description. Most lots are listed as boxed, with accessories or as body-only, and any known issues (such as a missing battery) are stated. We don't make additional guarantees beyond what's in the lot description, so check the photos and description carefully before bidding.
Do cameras come with lenses, batteries and accessories?
This varies by lot. Some camera bodies are listed with a kit lens included, some are body-only, and some include extras like batteries, chargers, memory cards or bags. Every lot description states what's included where known by the vendor. If a specific accessory is essential to you, check the lot photos and description, and contact us before bidding if it's not clear.
Can I check shutter count or test a camera before bidding?
Shutter counts and condition details are included in lot descriptions where supplied by the vendor. Viewings are available so you can satisfy yourself before bidding. Viewing details and our "Ask a question" function are both on the lot page.
Can I get a camera delivered or do I have to collect?
Most cameras, lenses, action cameras and accessories are marked Postal and shipped UK-wide. A small number of bulk lots or oversized lighting kits are Collection only from our saleroom. The fulfilment option is shown clearly on every lot page.
