Testimonials

    Not only did the camera arrive in good time but it is functioning perfectly as stated. Thank you very much and I'm more than happy to recommend your store and your service.
    Glyn Bevan, London SE9

    I want to express delight at the condition of the camera and lens. I was on the verge of buying from Japan when I came across your website. In future you will be my first port of call when I am buying or selling equipment.
    Nigel Thompson, Warrington, Cheshire

    What do you do with your Leica equipment that has been sitting dormant in a drawer for 25 years? Peter was extremely forthright and honest in his appraisals of my equipment and took care of all the shipping from USA which he also pays for. Less than 24 hours after receipt of my equipment Peter had paid our agreed price in US dollars. Fast, efficient and totally professional, I highly recommend Peter Walnes.
    David Schwartz, New Jersey, USA

    Many thanks for an excellent service. Prompt, efficient and courteous. A pleasure dealing with you from start to finish.
    Colin Galbraith, Weymouth, Dorset

    Peter, thank you for such prompt payment. The money is indeed already in my account. It has been a pleasure dealing with you. I'll be sure to keep my eyes on your fantastic website. If only all companies offered such brilliant service.
    Clive Watkins, Edinburgh, Scotland

    It's great doing business with you Peter. Beautiful lenses, fast service, good packaging, fair pricing, great customer service. What more could one ask for!
    Russ Mountain, Germany

    Camera arrived today - fantastic. The only way I could do better is to buy a new one and we all know that is all but impossible! Thanks once again.
    Graham Jelley, Taipei, Taiwan

    Peter stands out as the best buyer of used camera equipment I have yet discovered. Here are the advantages and the reasons I stick with Peter:
    * He responds quickly to email questions
    * He rectifies quickly any concerns on the rare occasions they arise
    * He offers the best prices for used equipment in my experience
    * He pays promptly
    * He buys an incredibly broad range of products
    P Syson, Crawley, West Sussex

    Peter offers a very efficient service and gave a very quick response to all of my questions. Communications were excellent. Fast service with fantastic prices and I would thoroughly recommend using him for both buying and selling. A very honest business and all completed within 5 days.
    Caroline Lyden, Gloucester

    Over the years I have done business with you, both buying and selling. In all cases your prices have been fair and reasonable. The speed you have shown in responding to an order and the diligence you have shown in packing the goods has impressed me. Your rapid response and fairness in quoting a purchase price has equally impressed me, especially bearing in mind that I live in Chile. That together with your speed of payment convinces me to highly recommend you. May your business prosper and I look forward to doing business again with you in the future.
    Aubrey Whinney, San Antonio, Chile

    I must start by thanking Peter and the staff for the fantastic service I have received. Peter is what you call a true gentleman. A man of his word and wonderfully honest.
    Aden Adam, Blackpool, Lancs.

    Having been kindly given a 1970's Leica, I was unsure the best way to achieve a sale at a fair market value. The ebay lottery wasn't appealing. I approached a couple of London camera stores a year ago who were very sniffy about dealing over the phone and by email. I gave up.
    The other day I came across Peter Walnes' website. I contacted Peter and within an hour, he had assessed the value of the camera and offered what I considered a fair price. He arranged and paid for a UPS pickup and made payment as soon as it arrived. Throughout the selling process Peter provided me with the surety and confidence that I was dealing with a professional. A completely refreshing approach to business built on mutual trust. 
    Gareth Kitching, Swanage, Dorset

    I received the lens today, earlier than expected. Thank you so much for a terrific service. I cannot thank you enough for the prompt response to everything. 
    Anandh Owen, London N10

Just to let you know how pleased I am with my purchase. Prospective customers can buy with confidence. It was a pleasure to speak to you when I first enquired about the lens, extremely well packed and of excellent quality. I will not hesitate buying from you in the future.
Gerry Doe, St Austell, Cornwall

The screen arrived today. Safe, sound, perfect and super speedy. Thank you again for contacting me when one became available. This kind of customer service has become too rare.
Karen Heller, Piedmont, California, USA

You came highly recommended by a friend who has bought Leica equipment from you in the past. I can see now why you are held in such high regard. It is so refreshing to find someone who responds so promptly and who offers a fair price for equipment. Thanks again.
Frank Wood, Bury, Lancs
