Editor's Notes & Price Research

Written by
Dealer determines the trade-in amount at its sole discretion and dealer's trade-in amount may vary according to condition and age of the trade-in. The discount amount is not a cash equivalent, may not be redeemed for cash, and is available only for the purchase of a new Sony item listed here-in at the time of trade-in. Refer to offer page for full terms & conditions. -johnny_miller

It seems any lens, dslr or mirrorless will qualify. You have to purchase camera/lens first and then fill out the form and send trade-in. They will send you a prepaid label. Upon receipt of the traded in lens/camera, they will contract you based on the info from the form and refund will be given back to your original payment method. They will also send you a check for the value of the traded-in item. That value will depend on their appraisal, of course

Link to all eligible products [adorama.com] - this stacks with the new Sony IR's [adorama.com] as well. I noticed on IR page, those bodies come with an extra $200gc, SLICK!
  • Make sure when you fill out the form, you put in your order #
  • In the source code field, put SLICKSONY for expedited processing.
example deals (some come with extra gc's):

Here are a few points to clarify how the trade-in works.
  1. The item being traded does not have to be a Sony item. Any brand of lens or Interchangeable Lens Camera is eligible for the trade-in promo.
  2. There are two ways you will get money back on the trade-in.
    • You will receive a credit towards a new/existing purchase on the Sony Trade-in Promo. This credit is based on the promo of the item you are purchasing. See promo page for details.
    • You will receive a check for the trade-in value of your used equipment. This value is determined via appraisal by our used department.

Great price on A7RII! Thanks and repped!
Wish it could be combined with AMEX $25/$250 offer. Does anyone know if Adorama allow more than 1 GC to be applied along with credit card payment?
Was planning to buy multiple $250 GCs.

So, anyone has idea of trade-in value vs. sell on eBay? In general cases.

the $25 credit will be applied only once. even if you buy multiple gc's you will not get additional credit though they are separate transactions. please see fine print.

Good price, but I can't see myself put that much money for a camera, maybe I am not a good photographer and poor.

the A7 is an amazing camera. You will get great shots even in plain auto mode. A good start would be the A7II. if you don't want to put that much money then Sony A6000 is a very good starter camera. Always available for less than $550.

Each GC will be purchased with a different AMEX card so I would save additional $100. Thanks for your reminder though.
