Willow Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I found 7 including an old polaroid, 3 are low res digital. Only one was a good camera at the time. No idea what todo with these but it seems a waste to throw them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Only thing I can suggest is Freegle/Freecycle - there might be a camera nut out there who would want them for spare parts or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I would think any charity shop would be pleased to take them. Most seem to have specialists who come in and check to see if electrical/mechanical donations work. A lot of charities sell on ebay now too, so could sell items like that to a wider audience.

I didn't think of that I thought they wouldn't be interested as they are a bit specialised. I'll take them along to Oxfam. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Did you get rid of your old cameras, Patricia? Just asking as I happened to be in a rather nice Oxfam shop yesterday (only browsing ), and as I was leaving I spotted a glass cabinet full of old cameras! There was even a sign up asking for more donations (of cameras) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Did you get rid of your old cameras, Patricia? Not yet, they are in a box waiting to go but I didn't want to make a special trip. I need to go into town thurs so with this reminder I'll try really hard to take them in. Now does that count are one thing or seven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
