Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for tech collectors), Mercari (fast sales for trendy tech), or Depop (highest price potential if marketed as 'Y2K vintage digital cam' to aesthetic-focused buyers).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Y2K Camcorder', 'Digicam', 'Retro Video', and 'Vlog Camera'. If you have the charger, test it and show the screen powered on to double your value. Shipping is easy—use a small USPS Priority mail box with plenty of bubble wrap to protect the internal hard drive from shocks.
