Camera dealers who buy Pro grade film cameras in N.W. U.S.A.
I have a friend who lives in the S.W. corner of Oregon. He wants to sell his film cameras.
Any ideas.
Thanks in advance for any help.
KEH, MPB, otherwise, Craigs list or facebook marketplace.
Blue Moon Camera in Portland will take them on consignment.

I don't know but I think the UHH brought the most money.
I think the best money would be selling it to someone who wants to use it rather than a dealer who has to resell it.

Blue Moon pays you when they sell each individual item on consignment which tends to stretch out the payment period. If ProPhoto Supply is interested they may buy an item outright.
Either of them have been completely honest in my dealings with them.
KEH and MPB pay when the equipment is received and inspected, probably a lot sooner than all other options, options that include never selling / paying.
Take a look at ebay or mpb, etc to see what similar film cameras are selling for. Then the seller can anticipate that a reseller, mpb, etc will probably pay about 40-50% of that amount.
List the items on UHH and see if there is any response first, then go to a dealler.

BUT, in your post I surmised that you do NOT want any kick-backs and want to sell in person
Thanks for everybody's help. I'll pass this on to my friend.
Also Advance Camera Repair in Beaverton Oregon. They primary business is film camera repair and they also sell them on consignment. Their following is quite broad in that they are one of the very few film camera repair shop anywhere.
