My local camera shop has a brand new Argus C3 in its cardboard display box and the leather case. It was the display model and was never sold. How much is the right price for me to offer the guy?

There were untold millions of these cameras made and C3s in excellent shape go for $10 or $15 on the auction site. Brand new in box would probably be worth around $100.

No matter the condition, it doesn't change the fact that it's an Argus C-3. An Argus collector might pay more for it, but in truth, most would pay at most $50 for a new in the box "brick."
