What cameras & photography actually sold for

Every line below is a real sale by a member of this board. The price was hidden while people guessed, then revealed — so the guess and the answer were recorded separately and neither could be tidied up afterwards.

4 sales · middle price £122 · from £87.48 to £180 · the room was typically 76% out

A small sample — 4 sales. Read it as a sense of the range rather than a price guide, and it grows every week.

How to use this

The prices sellers can see on eBay are what people are asking. Completed listings disappear behind a login after ninety days. That is why "what did it actually go for" is such a hard question, and why this board keeps the answers where they can still be read a year later.

Join free and the listing checker will read these back to you against your own draft — or play a round first, no account needed.

Writing about this?

These numbers are not published anywhere else, and you are welcome to them. This is the line to copy — it carries the sample size, so nobody ends up quoting a median over 4 sales as though it were the whole market.

No permission needed and no link required. If you do link it, a plain link is worth more to both of us than anything arranged.
