Advice Needed Please.....how much is my camera worth if anything??!!

[julester]

Hi there, my father has just bought a digital camera and has asked me to sell his old Nikkon. Candidly, I haven't got a clue about cameras. The camera itself has knocks i.e. wear and tear but the lenses and all accessories look in reasonable condition.

The collection includes:

Nikon FM 2263348 Camera
Vivitar 52mm Skylight (1a) - 24mm, 1:28, 553670 complete with case
Nikkor 35mm, 1:28, 371429 complete with case
Miranda 55mm Skylight Filter - Mitakon MC Zoom, 1:45, f=80-200mm, 858028 complete with case / carry attachment
Sunpak auto220
Tripod
A few other bits​

Pictures can be view on ImageShack Album - 7 images​

If anyone on the forum is able to advice potential value, it really would be much appreciated!​

Thanks in advance. It really would help!​

sorry to be the bearer of sad news, but not much. tripod maybe 5-10 dollars
I have a nikon f90s in excellent condition and can't even get $90 for it, and I am not alone with this issue.

the filters, maybe a couple of dollars a piece.

Check on KEH.com for some comparsion numbers on the camera/lens, etc. it might be helpful

KEH is not the place to set your prices though I'm afraid. Their prices are full retail backed by a guaranty.

Check E-bay's completed listings to see what your items are going for from individuals.

Based on ebay completed items:

Nikon FM = $50
Nikkor 35mm ai lens = $65
Nikkor 24mm ai lens (the 24mm is a nikon lens, the vivitar is just the filter) = $125

The rest is pretty worthless

Really appreciate your help. I have been offer £200 (circa $300) for the lot.....which seems to be reasonable so might opt for that!

Thanks!

take it and run

mike may have a point,but who knows what the equipment is really like with ebay.

I know someone who bought an f90s for 38 dollars that was advertised as in good condition and he said it looks as if it had been used as a hammer in a building project.
