Hello from Nebraska!

Hello everyone!

I'm a new member of the forum. My name is Conrad and I've always had a love for photography, but haven't found the time to indulge in the hobby. I have come in search of advice.

I'm not familiar with Photography, but I came across some equipment while helping my parents clean out their basement. It's a Beseler 67 Printmaking with the associated accessories. I would like to find the reasonable used value of the unit. Can anyone direct me to which forum would be appropriate for such a question?

Thanks for any direction you can offer!

Welcome!

Enlargers are worth about 1/10 of what they cost when they were new, but they can still be used with confidence in a darkroom setup. If you are just wanting to sell that enlarger, then research the average selling price of used enlargers of that make and sell it.

Or use it if you're going to set up a darkroom.

Thanks for thd replies! I figured it was an item with a pretty low resale value. I looked through eBay's sold listings. Unfortunately, there's only been a few Beseler 67's that have sold, and for wildly different prices. I ended up splitting the difference between the two and listed it on eBay. I figure I might take whatever I get out of it and put it towards a used DSLR. Here's the listing, I put a best offer feature on it, I'll let the market decide . I'll include the listing below, not trying to advertise or anything, but I thought people here might be interested in pictures of a random basement find that's been cleaned up and given a second shot at life. It was in the "take to the dump" pile, couldn't bear to see that happen.

Thanks for the help and warm welcome! I'm sure this forum will be really helpful if I snag a used camera. There's also some great info on buying used cameras. Awesome forum all-around.
