Valuation of NON Digital 35mm Camera + accessories

11 years 2 months ago #268125 by Turbogirlie
Hi there,

I am thinking of selling my 35mm SLR & accessories :ohmy: - where's the best place to get a decent valuation of this in the UK - 2 x Prakticar bodies + lenses, flash unit & extension tubes - all M42 screw thread...all in good working order as well.

:thx2:

I would check prices on e-bay, to get an idea of what people seem willing to pay. :cheers:

I'm not familiar with what would be a good option in the UK. I just got a couple of Praktica bodies and lenses at thrift store prices that were nice finds and a good choice for me since I have other screw mount cameras and lenses. I never saw a lot of Prakticas here and I don't know if they're particularly collectible or not. I don't think that a lot of the mechanical cameras are too valuable but there's a market for them (just might be a matter of finding it).

Thanks John - I did have a quick look earlier, estimating @ £15-20 per body/lens - sad to do this, as bought (all 2nd hand) with money given to me for my 21st, however, no where locally to get film developed decently & loving the Olympus' I own - adore the four thirds.... ;) Times move on - could then invest the cash into something else so not losing out really (more equipment for the Oly's...) :thx:

Thanks for sharing . . . I was hoping that it would be worth a little more myself. Now I'm curious to look into buying this type of thing at thrift stores!

You could always buy your own developer and set up a mini-darkroom! I think it's worth it, but I say that as a fan of film!
