Vintage cameras

[buffalobill]

I've got a couple of cameras I'd like to get rid of. What's the best route in your estimation? Ebay, auctions, shops etc? They are Zeiss Ikon/ta B 523/16, Agfa Ambiflex, Ensign Selfix 420 and Halina 35X from the 1950s. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: The language monitor on this system won't let me write out the Zeiss name in full.

Probably best try eBay - the market for old cameras is pretty limited in South Africa.

The Halinas, Ensigns & Agfas were mass-marketed, i.e. relatively inexpensive, when they were first sold. If the Zeiss is the one that I am thinking of then it would fall into the same category.

I will take them off your hands.

I certainly won't be retiring but a couple of hundred dollars for equipment that's been in a box for 30 years can be used for a better purpose.

Almost all of those cameras you pick up from the street from around R100-00 to R200-00.
I know this since I own 3 of those cameras, I also collect old cameras.

Old cameras have almost no value since most of them were mass produced in the past. I have some rare cameras here, stuff I doubt anyone on here have ever seen, but it has no real monetary value.
Halina, Agfa Ambiflex, what are you looking at selling this for? Give me a price if you would?

Just to back up my claim to fame:
ENSIGN SELFIX 420 for around R90-00
Agfa Ambiflex for around R60-00

I have no idea what the "worth" is which is why I'm asking around. Those of course, are uncompleted auctions: Zeiss I****a B

The Halina's a cheapie. In short, I don't know yet.

I know they are incomplete, just do a search on any of those cameras on Ebay and you can the get a feel for their worth. That should set you going at what to expect price wise.

PM me if you have a figure in mind, I do not want to lay down a price since it can be interpreted as milking/manipulating the situation.
