The #1 Vintage Photo Booth BUYER in the U.S.
Selling a vintage photobooth?
We have a war chest ready to buy and we’ll make the process painless for you.
We are passionate finding and restoring machines, but not enough to cheat anyone. If you find a better offer for a photobooth that we want, we’ll beat it.
We will never “flip” photobooths, or convert them to digital, nor do we don’t spend a bunch of money to be the #1 Google result to pose as experts. Work with us for a great experience and you’ll walk away with the most money in your pocket.
We’ve purchased photobooths from San Francisco to New York, and Los Angeles to Quebec. We’re ready to go. Are you? Contact us for an efficient, fair transaction.
LOOKING TO BUY a VINTAGE photo booth?
We no longer offer analog photobooths for sale. We have a backlog of analog work and we’re keeping our promises to existing clients. We have no immediate plans to sell machines in the future.
FILM PRODUCTION SEEKING HERO PROP?
We work with large and small productions and understand the financial side as well as the set buyer’s mission to deliver the perfect prop. Our small collection of photobooths can be deployed given a realistic timeline. Your production and privacy will be valued by Photo Bang.
How we buy them
We fly or drive to our sellers and load a trailer or multiple box trucks. We’ll dig booths out from basements and barns and send freight company partners to pickup. We cater to each seller’s situation. Photo booths are 800+ pounds and we’ll make selling and moving them easy on you.
Whatever it takes.
PURCHASE: FAYETTEVILLE
This Model 11 spent time in Spokane, WA, Moscow, ID, and then Seattle. We were contacted after a decade of it being in NW Arkansas.
Custom dollies were needed to extract it from a local bar with a narrow and short doorway. We trailered it offsite to prepare it for freight back to Colorado.
The seller is a wonderful woman who we are still in contact with today. When the booth is fully restored we’ll bring her for a visit to use it in a Denver public space.
PURCHASE: OKLAHOMA CITY
An estate for the founder of Federal Identifcation Company contacted us for valuations on a Model 11 and Model 9, along with some other homemade regional photobooth paraphernalia. We provided market valuations. When the machines did not sell locally for what they were worth, we offered to buy the items.
These were exciting purchases for us because the booths themselves sat untouched and covered in a warehouse since the 1980s. We later found out that some of these machines were in OKC department stores in the 60s, or placed in 3M manufacturing facilities and used for making employee badges.
PURCHASE: SPOKANE
These two vintage Model 11 photo booths were once owned by an arcade in the local mall. This seller purchased them and kept them 20+ years after the arcade closed.
We had custom pallets made and then brute force slid them out of the tiny garage and onto a box truck. A day later they were in Denver, CO and are currently awaiting restoration.
