Exchange Compliance & Authentication FAQs
Clear, transparent statutory standards protecting buyers and sellers alike.
What is the Second-Hand Goods Act (Act 6 of 2009)?
South African law mandates strict identity verification, serial number recording, and acquisition logs (Form SAPS 600) for all pre-owned goods. This completely eliminates illicit or stolen goods from our exchange.
Why must gear be couriered to Base Camp?
Unlike unverified peer-to-peer classifieds, Kampvuur Safaris physically inspects every item in person. We test optical collimation, clean internal mechanisms, and repack in Base Camp packaging before listing.
What is the seller commission and payout timeline?
Our consignment model retains a managed 30% margin covering technical inspection, studio photography, listing hosting, and buyer guarantee. Sellers receive electronic payout within 48 hours of buyer delivery confirmation.
Do you dispatch pre-owned items internationally?
Yes. Pre-owned equipment and optics are dispatches nationwide across South Africa and worldwide via insured door-to-door express air freight, accompanied by our physical Base Camp certificate of authenticity.
