FAQs

FAQs — Selling Your 16mm Film Equipment

How much will you pay for my Bolex or Arri?

We pay fair market prices based on current demand for professional 16mm gear. We don’t pay retail, but we pay more than most — and faster than anyone. No consignment, no waiting.

Do you buy non-working or damaged 16mm cameras?

Yes. All conditions considered. A non-working Bolex H16 or Arri SR still has value to us. Just be upfront about known issues and we’ll make a fair offer.

Can I trade my gear instead of selling?

Yes — we’re open to trade credit toward rentals or toward our Bolex CLA and repair service. Ask us about this option.

Do you buy complete 16mm camera packages?

Absolutely. A full Arri SR kit or Bolex package with lenses and accessories is exactly what we’re looking for. We’ll make a single offer on the whole package.

I’m not sure what I have — can you identify it?

Yes. Send photos and we’ll identify your gear and let you know if it’s something we’re buying. We work with this equipment every day.

Why sell to Highline Camera Rentals instead of eBay?

No listing fees, no buyer disputes, no weeks of waiting. You deal directly with working filmmakers and rental professionals who know the value of your gear — and we’re right here in Los Angeles.

Do you buy single lenses or just full kits?

Both. A single Kern Switar or a full Zeiss Super Speed set — we’re interested either way.
