Normally on the Bay, Minolta Autocords go from between $100 to $200, depending upon condition. A lot of these are sold "as is" but at least there is nothing obviously wrong with these cameras (but who knows what lingers that will only be discovered after receipt).
This auction has me scratching my head as it is clearly identified as "not working" because the shutter is stuck (and no, I didn't bid on it): https://www.ebay.com/itm/134320121578
$123.50 for a camera that is clearly described as "not working"? Even as a parts camera, it's only worth about half of that. I understand that the shutter issue could possibly be fixed with the application of a little lighter fluid, but still, that's more than a bit of a gamble. After tax/shipping, someone paid ~$150 for this camera.
Is there something about this particular model of Autocord that makes it desirable?
