PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. HOW THIS WORKS:
1. Go through our list of transfer, scanning, and editing services to determine the work you need done.
2. Look at the list of items we generally accept to see if you have any of them.
3. If we have already placed a value on the item, it is based upon the max price we typically pay to other sources.
4. Tell us the work you need done and ask us if it is possible to do some or all of it in exchange for the camera you have. Send photos to orders@rapturetransfer.com.
5. Sometimes, even if it is a camera we have listed for less, we may still accept your entire order if we are not busy and we don’t already have a deep reserve of that type of camera. So feel free to ask anyway. All we can say is no.
6. This is a straight up barter. If you offer something that you value more than the cost of your transfer order, we do not give change. But keep in mind that if you went with most other commercial transfer services, even if you sold your camera, you would typically not be able to get as much done as you would through us. This barter system is designed to ensure that we can continue to offer great discounted services.
7. If we agree to the terms of your barter, you will be able to send us your order along with your camera without any money. But we will also let you know what the cost of your order would be if your camera does not work. If that is the case, you will be given the option of paying for your order or paying to have everything returned if there is an issue with what you send.
