Faulty Camera without disclaimer

**update: The staff had reached out to me outside their working hours and providing me with a working solution which is a plus but I would still stand with my review in terms of the faulty item.

I recently just purchased the Minolata XL 660 from them and found out that the camera didn’t work. When I checked the battery compartment some part of it has rust built up but I think the problem was happened internally as well. In the listing page didn’t stated clearly about the camera’s condition but I guess that can fell through sometimes. So if anyone wants to buy their products I would suggest you to be mindful of some hiccups during the purchase time.

I am sorry that the camera arrived with a damaged battery holder - it clearly fell short of our 10 point inspection policy and should not have happened.

I am glad that we were able to respond to you within 12 hours of you reaching out via email to offer a solution that got your camera working and your film shoot for the next day back on track.

If you have any further issues please do pop us an email and we'll be happy to assist you.

Thanks, Ben

Reliable Second Hand Camera store

Camera came well packaged and in amazing condition - it didn't even look second hand! Delivery was really quick (4 days), and the site was clear and easy to navigate. Everything is working as should and I'm very excited to start filming.

This seller sold me a piece of…

This seller sold me a piece of industrial art ! They dont make cameras like this anymore, everything today is plastics, and micro electronics. Every thing is the finest construction.

Radio silence on faulty item

Contacted the owner a few days before their "60 day warranty" period ran out. Whilst he was very quick to reply PRIOR to the purchase, after purchase, I received radio silence regarding him selling us a camera with a faulty light metre that was not disclosed during the sale.

Hi Richard, I'm really sorry to hear you've had a negative experience and would love to get this matter resolved for you. I've checked our emails but haven't located any correspondence from you - perhaps you could email info@cameracrate.com with your order details so we can look at getting this resolved.

Great range, well priced, very happy!

Accurately presented on the website, my camera came before the expected date, well packaged and running perfectly, as described. Description of the item on cameracrate.com was knowledgeable, and true to the camera. Very happy with my purchase, will certainly be recommending, and buying from in future! Very well priced too!

Great service

Great service - in the end the camera was not what I wanted (I decided to go for 16mm not 8mm) Cameracrate refunded me quickly and without questions. Would certainly use again.
