Hey all. I’ve had a Hassy 503cxi, 50, 80, 150mm lenses, 3x a12 backs and a hodgepodge of accessories sitting on a shelf for years. I’ve taken it out here and there but I think the time has come to acknowledge I’m not going to be using it anymore and just reinvest the value into my Leica lens collection or another MF camera like a Rollei (the issue has always been portability and being spoiled for lens choice-I always find I’m better off with less choice). But I haven’t been active in the resale market for a while-any input into the value of this kit? The lenses are absolutely pristine, the camera nearly so as well, just some cracking on the internal light baffles but nothing’s coming undone and the last roll I put through it was perfect. Sorry if this isn’t the right place for this-I’m not trying to skirt the classified fees, just trying to figure out what a reasonable asking price might be, here or locally (central Europe if it matters)

^^^^That's the first thing I'd do. The for sales ads on the bay are really optimistic

Yeah, I just wasn't sure if those were honest prices or not-I almost never buy from eBay-just feels like they're always overpriced and nothing ever moves. But looks something like $1,500-2,500 for a body + 80mm + back, depending on condition. Mine's probably somewhere around the $1,500-2,000 mark by eBay standards so I guess max $1,500 for private sale...
