Found this at a garage sale 2 weeks ago and could not pass it up for $5. It is in near-MINT condition with all original documentation. I hope it is worth at least $50..

On eBay some sell for $9 and some sell for $30-70 and some go unsold at $9 and unsold at $30-70. If you can find a buyer and make some money, I would sell it (unload it) ASAP. There is not much demand for these cameras.

I saw a similar one, in near mint condition, go for c £30 ($45) at an auction last year, and I was amazed, especially as very pretty pieces of Victorian gold jewelry were fetching the same price!  Boxed, and in mint condition, there seems to be  collectors out there.

Heck, I'd buy it for $10, and double your profit!  PM if you're interested.  I like to collect old cameras.

     Cameras seem to be a liittle hot now as far as selling them, maybe because with film on it last leg, soon you may not find any of the older cool ones, I do think with so many of them out there the price is still kind of low.  I still Kick myself, before I even knew the difference between Vintage and Antique, I use to collect camera, being a old photograper, I guess it was the thing.  I grew tired of them and gave them to my Uncle, Must of had about 50 of them.  I was picking these things up for a buck, now some of them That I had are reaching the $$.00 level now, and in ten years the coolest one will get into the $$$.00.

My camera sold for $92 on Ebay. I put the starting bid at $75 and 2 people were interested. The last bid came in 2 seconds before the bidding time ended!.

Good job on that sell, goes to show you only need two to battle.  I also today sold a Royal Albert Tea cup for $102.00 all at the last minute just two people. I was surprised, maybe worth $30.00, but two can make it worth more.  Once ago good sell
