I often check my local 'Bargain Finder' to see if anyone is selling anything interesting...for a good price.
I'm always baffled by the price that some people list their cameras for. I don't know if they think it's a collector's item, or if they just figure that they should get back what they paid (or a lot more) back in the 70s or 80s.
There are a couple of examples I found today...
CANON AE1 program camera, c/w reg lens, zoom lens & flash, $500
Two Cameras, CANON AE1 SLR Program (1), & Canon AE1 SLR (1), 5 lenses, power winder, flash, c/w (2) carrying case and tripod, all for $799 obo.
Unless those cameras also come with a few $100 dollar bills...that doesn't sound like a good deal to me. I can't imagine they get any calls, lets alone sell them for those prices.
