Need help on idenifying value on some vintage cameras

[Wingman]

Hi everyone, I have a relative that wants me to sell some of his camera collections on eBay to help pay his medical bills, I don't know anything about vintage cameras so I like to ask you guys to figure out the value of the three camera that he wants to sell. I got the model number(or at least what's written on it)...one is a Rolleiflex 3003, one is a Linhof Press 70 and one is a Alpa 6c. He says they all work and I'm in the US. Thanks in advance.

Whoa Wingman, those are expensive toys! The Alpa is the one that's most collectible and desired, the other two are more of a 'user' cameras.

To give you an idea of how much they are, here are a few websites:

Wow so they're quite rare? My relatives' Alpa 6c comes with a silver case with all kinds of lens in there too, I can't believe these are worth that much :hail:

You guys will probably see them on eBay eventually....

On Ebay you will not get those prices, for sure!

The Alpa is a keeper! So could be the Linhof 70.

Well a guy in Germany is selling his Rolleiflex 3003 for 2 grand on eBay, but since he's in a different country people from the US usually won't even think about it. They're keepers but medical bills are expensive and my relative needs money.

I thought putting it on eBay would get much more exposure than those sites?

Exposure does not necessarily mean better prices. If you're really set on selling them I would first contact any collector's club. Just Google "camera collecting" and you'll find plenty of clubs.
