Welcome to our “Secondhand & Display Items” section—the corner of Fotichaestli where you’ll find genuine brand-name quality at a reduced price. This is where products end up that have been unboxed, displayed at a trade show or in a store, or briefly tested, and therefore are no longer considered brand-new. Technically, they’re exactly what you’d expect from us—just at a price that honestly reflects the fact that the original packaging may have been opened.

What to Expect Here

Every item in this category is one-of-a-kind. There’s only one of it, at this price and in this condition—once it’s gone, it’s gone. That’s exactly what makes browsing here exciting: From camera straps to bags to accessories, you might find anything that has fallen out of our regular new-merchandise cycle. So it’s worth checking back often, because the selection changes constantly.

We describe every product as honestly as we would expect to be described ourselves. In each product description, you’ll find what the item is and what condition it’s in. If an item has visible signs of use, we’ll say so—we don’t sugarcoat anything for you.

Shop smart, conserve resources

Buying secondhand isn’t just good for your budget—it’s good for the environment, too: A product that’s been unboxed or displayed doesn’t end up sitting unused in a warehouse—it gets put to use by you. You get high-quality photography gear from well-known brands for significantly less money—and give a perfectly good product a second chance, instead of buying something brand-new for the same purpose. Especially with accessories like straps, bags, or mounts, you won’t notice any difference from new items in everyday use anyway.
