Panasonic GH5, GH5S and G9 $300 trade in bonus

Vitaliy_Kiselev

As you can sell virtually any camera, it is more like $300 unofficial discount.

B&H is offering the trade-in on the GH3 and GH2, but not the GH1 :( But it's not $300, only $138 for a GH2 with accessories. They're also offering to take your mint GH5 for $920, how magnanimous.

@LPowell

Procedure is that as soon as you ship item, before inspection, they send you discount.

Means that they do not care much.

Oh Darn. They won't accept my D70... I think it'd probably still be a better deal to snag a used eBay one unless you needed it to be new for some specific raisin.

@LPowell The $300 discount is in addition to the trade-in value - so for your GH2, you'd be getting $438, not $138.... and $138 seems pretty much what I'd expect for a GH2. That's a camera that was released 8 years ago and which the same retailers sell used for about $300.

@Firworks The form at Adorama seems to be more permissive - it was willing to accept the Yi M1, but it won't give back an instant value like B&H. I put in a Nikon D70 out of curiosity and it came up. I think you have to wait for their salesperson to write you back. Once they do, they may still say that your camera is ineligible. Good luck!
