echorec Posted January 3, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 3, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, Can anyone help me with the approx. value of this? Absolutely not mint but not too shabby either. I don´t have a picture of it right now. Thanks in advance, Gunnar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Hi echorec, Take a look here Leica I with Hektor 50/2.5 from 1931. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
echorec Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share #2 Posted January 4, 2008 Nobody? I only need a rough value for this. I´d say the camera is in C condition. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted January 5, 2008 Share #3 Posted January 5, 2008 Gunnar, Since you insist... As per McKeown's guide: "Serial number range 40,000 to 60,000 - relatively rare, but not as appealing to some collectors as the other early Leicas. Exc+ condition US$2,500 to US$3,000. Super clean: US$5,000 to US$7,000." The above is a verbatim quote from the McKeown's bible. So is this: "Value of equipment is entirely dependent on the mood of the buyer and the seller"... So - any value that anybody can give you is irrelevant. You know how much you are willing to pay for the camera and only you know how much you want it. The seller again is the only one who knows how much he needs to sell it or, whether he needs to sell it at all. All the best, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
echorec Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted January 5, 2008 Thanks Jan, This is an internet auction and the starting price is around $1000. I will report back if I win. Best regards, Gunnar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
