So happy I found this company
So happy I found this company. Great communication by Andrew. The product was of a perfect condition and has worked well. I’ve managed to digitalise 40 plus mini DV tapes of precious memories of my family. Andrew originally suggested some cameras that would work for my needs. The price was fantastic. He was spot on. Delivery was great and everything was wrapped in bubble wrap. Thank you Andrew

Wonderful service all the way through
Wonderful service all the way through. Sent my items on Friday via the pre-paid label, received an email on Tuesday to confirm receipt, followed by a revised quote which was bang on original quote, accepted and received funds 2 hours later. Brilliant service and would recommend, will be using them again.

Genuine company offering decent products at a reasonable price
The camera arrived quickly, and in great condition. I would have gave 10/10 if it had come with the instruction booklet.

Hi, thanks so much for leaving a review. Unfortunately we have no control over the accessories included as all our cameras are traded in by customers.
We do make sure to always include the basics such as battery and charger, as well as list all accessories included in the description and pictures.
If you need a manual feel free to email and we can send you a PDF version!
Many thanks,
Andrew

Fantastic service from start to finish
I sold sds.net a mix of gear including three camcorders, a digital camera, and a bag of cables. Their custom quote was very quick and the price was actually better than the hassle of selling everything individually. They provided a free DPD label and I was incredibly impressed to receive payment the very same day they received my items. Professional, efficient, trusted and highly recommended if you want a fair price without the marketplace headache.

I was very impressed with SDS
I was very impressed with SDS. I really had no idea as to the value of my old cameras as they had been sat in a cupboard for years. I posted a package and received a quote within 24 hours to which I was greatly surprised, and which was 7 times more than another organisation had offered me. I accept and received the money by return. Many thanks.

Superb process and service from SDS
I'd like to congratulate the team at SDS for the ultra smooth process of buying my beloved Sony DV camcorder from me. The online process is super easy, quick and efficient with excellent communication and a very fair price offered. Payment followed very quickly the same day my item was received and inspected. Highly recommended!
