You do realize that that camera is highly collectible? They don't show up often, but when they do, they go for serious money. Not something I'd put in my glovebox. My guess is that it will sell between $2K-$3K.

I guess it depends on how much you're willing to risk by sending money to Argentina.

I think palmtokyo will win the action. Look at his history :-s

yes he's winning that and he's got 3 winning bids on this auction too!

I went through a phase when I first registered on feebay, buying collectable cameras, but I always fancied this one to sit on a table. Bit excesssive I know but sure it's worth a bid to make that japanese guy pay more. Some people haven't learnt to bid on ebay correctly at all!

I agree that though this Rollei Wide shows some wear and tear BUT there is no such animal as a bang aound Rollei Wide or Tele model--The Wide is a very desireable beast along with (but more desireable!) the Tele (I have 4 Tele's myself but no RolleiWide). I would still expect it to border $2K and if someone here does buy it by chance though unlikely I DO have a correct focus hood for a RolleiWide--a rarity in itself but was installed by mistake on a Tele model I bought ! It's a bit cheaper to replace the rare Tele hood than the much rarer RolleiWide focus hood! Heck!! Considering it's on ebay it might hit $3k and thats way over the top for such a cosmetically worn example!

What ever camera you get consider keeping it some where cooler than the glove box. My understanding is that it is the hottest place in most vehicles. Nice camera, fried film. Under the seat if there is room or in the trunk if there is one are usually much cooler.

Enjoy it.

So... out of curiousity... how much did you bid? It looks like the Japanese bidder REALLY wanted that camera!
