vintage film cameras

    hi, i have a few vintage cameras, dating from the 50's to the 80's, i would say. some in working order, but i'm sure the ones that aren't working can be fixed. some of them i bought off ebay and 2 i bought at a market in Poland.

    does any one know anywhere i can sell these? i am trying to avoid ebay for now, as i think i might just break even if i sold them there. i am in the limerick area.

    just to add, im also trying to avoid markets and car boot sales. I think they are worth more than what people are usually willing to spend at markets and car boot sales.

    thank you

    Well if you are not interested in selling them at a carboot or market or ebay then your only other option will be a bricks and morter Auction House, like the limerick auction rooms, but seeing as you don't want to use ebay then this too will be a non runner. To be honest its a very limited market, not too many will be interested in old cameras especially the non functioning ones. If I was you I would go with the ebay option but put a reserve on them if you think you will loose money or break even.

    Hi pizzers,

    What makes and models do you have? I used to deal in vintage cameras and might be able to advise you on value etc.

    i will have a look at them tomorrow and let you know! (they're in my mothers attic at the moment). but i will probably end up on the ebay route, it is the best option in fairness. but ill reply with makes and models.
    i do have a Polaroid Land 101 that has been repaired, and 3-4 cases of of polaroid film (10 shots in each case). but i will let you know the makes and models of the rest. Thank you!!!

    Hate to burst your bubble but the land camera is pretty much worthless.

    Can't wait to know what else you have.

    haha, to be honest, i dont think many of them will be worth more than 60 (if even) - 100 or so. but ive a good few of them and adding them all up i might get a nice bit. i'll get back to you tho! :)
