Certified used: how we check it
Every used item that passes through ReflexMania gets at least 11 checks* from our own workshop, and we only put on sale what works: if a piece does not pass the technical checks, it never reaches the site.
Cosmetic wear, on the other hand, we declare and price: every listing carries its grade, from as-new condition down to heavily worn. That is why we cover every item with a 2-year warranty, as if it were new. On camera bodies we also read the shutter count ourselves and print it on the listing: it is certified, and it counts towards the grade (bands up to 10,000, 50,000 and 100,000 actuations; the lower of the two levels applies). The counts we read on the bodies we have sold are collected on the page how many shutter actuations do used cameras have: our data.
Used gear from ReflexMania is checked and guaranteed: 24 months if you buy as a private customer, 12 months with a VAT number. Each listing carries a detailed description and real photos of the exact item you will receive. On pieces that have just arrived the photos may still be in progress: in that case the listing says so and we send them on request.
What you see online is in our warehouse in Ancona, ready to go: you receive it in 1-3 working days.*
