Been spending a lot of time on here!
That is what one seller is currently hoping to get for a low serial # Nikkorex F.
See item # 131795149408 on eBay USA
The seller says,
"This camera is a 1961 Nikkorex F SLR Serial Number 350003, which makes it the third actual camera produced by Nippon Kogaku."
Well, no. It's not the 3rd camera produced by Nippon Kogaku but it may be the 3rd Nikkorex F produced.
And, Nippon Kogaku (Nikon) didn't actually manufacture these cameras. The early ones were made by Mamiya and marketed by Nikon. Later ones were made by Ricoh and sold as the Ricoh Singlex or with Sears branding.
See:
Nikkorex F
Still, it's a cool camera ... but is it worth 30 Gs? I don't think so.
