Home movie cameras are close to valueless and that is when they are in great condition. In the condition yours is in, well... :-X

They were a good camera/projector, and can still fetch a few $$, but as Wayward said, in the condition that yours is in the price it realised would be extremely low. Here is one, very similar to yours, in a very clean condition, and they're asking $300 or maker an offer.
If you get $50 for yours, then, as we say over here, 'You could sell ice cream to an Eskimo'. Good Luck!

The value of this camera is $1-$5, in my opinion. Who knows, maybe there are parts inside it that are worth a few dollars. It is not worth $50.

You certainly are optimistic, heart_dragon, you will get whatever you manage to sell it for, and if you get $50, that is what you get. But I would agree with Hosman, $1 - $5, if you can find someone who wants it in that condition.
I am sorry to say, but that is the sort of item you would find in a box of other stuff at an Auction, it would definitely not be sold separately.
You could put it on ebay, 99c start, and see what happens, but I think that the postage would be more than anyone would be prepared to pay for the camera, so a garage sale would be a better idea..... Sorry

I see the thinking of you for the auction is a good idea. Thanks  ;)

99c would be a high bid in my opinion. As mario said, these movie cameras end up in boxes of stuff because no one buys them separately. I see excellent ones go unsold all the time. There is minimal interest in these cameras. If it was a decorator piece someone might want it but this camera has 0 eye appeal.

Good Luck!

It is reality and not the pie in the sky value.

If we say $20 and you get 99c, you are not happy and you do not think we know what we are talking about. If we say 99c and you get $20, you are elated but you still think we do not know what we are talking about. Either way we lose.

If we say 99c, and it realises 99c ...   ;D   

WE STILL LOSE!

Well, mart, that is what I would have done also if I got that in a box of stuff. If it had some rust on it, I am sure AM would want it.
