The APCS Photographic Markets have been premier events in the photographic calendar in Australia for 50 years, and are among the largest in the World. They reflect current interests in photographic equipment and supplies and are directed to both amateurs and professionals. Up to 70 tables are stocked with just about anything to do with photograhy from antiquity to the latest digital techniques. Antique Camera & Image dealers rub shoulders with retailers and private enthusiasts, selling everything from Daguerreotype to Digital.

Two markets are held each year at the Box Hill Town Hall. Sellers must book tables at least a fortnight in advance by sending an Email to market@apcsociety.com.au including your name, the number of tables you require, mobile phone number, preferred email address and your postal address. Also indicate if you want access to a power point. To keep table holders up to date with processes one or two bulletins are sent to them in the week or so before each event by Email. Buyers just turn up on the day from 9am, and the market winds up at 1pm. The public markets are "open" ie buyers and sellers do not have to be members of the Society. Security has become an issue and the Society takes special action to address problems including a "bag check" policy.

The current table fee is $60 per table and includes third party liability insurance. The current entry fee is $10 per person. Tthese fees are subject to change. Transactions are increasingly done using EFTPOS units held by the table holders. Limited EFTPOS facilities are provided by the Society, and there are nearby Terminals just down the road.

The APCS also holds Members-only markets, where both the buyers and sellers must be full (financial) members of the APCS. The dates are given in the Calendar and in the monthly newsletters. Non-members can become members as a condition of entry - the annual membership fee is $50 (see the membership page). A feature of these markets is the collectable items that may not be available at the public markets.
