Need Help with Rolleiflex DBP-DBGM

[cameras help]

I have a very nice Rolleiflex DBP-DBGM, there is a set of numbers inbetween the DBP and the DBGM. The lens are made in Germany.
Where do I go to find more info and where is a good place to sell it.
Thanks for any and all info.

Hi Melissa

The number you are referring to is your camera’s serial number.

You will find more information on http://www.rolleiclub.com/

And this list might answer what model you have: http://www.rolleiclub.com/cameras/tlr/info/serial_numbers.shtml

Hi Melissa;

Before you sell it, try it. If you need instructions, there are manuals available for free/donation ($3.00, not a bad price for the value of the info.) at http://www.butkus.org/chinon/rolleiflex.htm. As for selling it, depending on the model, they have been selling quite well on ebay, or you may want to check out www.keh.com or www.kohscamera.com (especially if you are in the U.S.)

Again, I would really recommend that you try your camera, The Rolleiflex line of cameras is one of the most highly regarded in the world.

Cheers,

Melisa,
What is the serial number of your Rolleiflex? As someone else said, these cameras are among the best made. They take super pictures and most have collector value as well. Many are increasing in value. I would try it out before selling it. The most usual problem is a sticky shutter at slow speeds, which requires new oil.
