KEH, the camera re-commerce company known as one of the largest online resellers of cameras and photography equipment, has announced it is opening a new brick-and-mortar retail store in the Atlanta area.
The used camera market is booming if a recent cash investment of £49.8 million (~$69 million) that MPB.com just raised is any indication. The company claims to "recirculate" about 300,000 pieces of equipment a year and expects to pass $139 million in revenue in 2021.
In late December, PetaPixel published an article asking if it was a good idea to buy used. There were mixed responses, but if KEH's data is to be believed, far more people support buying used than you might think. For KEH, 2020 was a "banner year."
Recently, we had a private Facebook group member ask what others thought about buying a used digital camera. The response was around 70% for and 30% against.
Japanese camera manufacturers dominate the digital photography landscape, so it might come as a surprise that the used film camera market is also thriving in Tokyo.
