Price for a Hasselblad SWC?

[emanded]

Can anyone give me an idea on what the following is worth, I've not seen any for sale to get a comparison:-

"Hasselblad Superwide C [SWC] camera body

Correct superwide viewfinder

A12 film magazine for 12 exposures on 120 film (recent seals)

Hasselblad polarizing filter in leather case

Hasselblad orange [4x o -2] filter

Hasselblad yellow [1.4x y -0.5] filter

Billingham case [small] ALICE model designed for leica M but ideal for the swc +filters etc."

Don't know the age but the lens is non T coated and the body has a crank handle winder. The viewfinder is round with a little square bit to one side.
It would really help to get opinions before I shed out a load of cash!

Cheers

I paid £1100 for mine a couple of months ago from aperture in London, it was rated E+++ it is in very nice condition.(The prices seem to go up and down on ebay, there has been some cheap(ish) ones in the last couple of weeks.) Mine is one of the chrome lens versions, and hasn't been converted to swc/m, so no polaroids for me. They are fun cameras to shoot handheld and the quality of the negs are amazing.

Depending on the condition/price of the camera they are great buys. How much are they asking?
Do you shoot hasselblad already?

http://www.flickr.com/groups/hasselbladswc/ has a bit of information

If you need to know more just ask. There's a fair few people on APUG who own them

Thanks Sam, they are asking £860 for the lot.
I shoot mainly with a 501CM but need a wide angle option. I recently hired a 40mm CF from the Hasselblad Procentre and found it a great lens and figured I need either one of these or a SWC.

Thats a good price! Cheaper than ebay. I would buy it. If you dont like it, sell it on, at a profit more than likely.
Its a very different camera to a 40mm on a CM, gives a great angle of view.

Always a problem - buying at a good price to sell if you don't get on with it. I seem to have trouble doing that and keep adding to my collection!
From what I understand the quality of the 38mm Biogon is as good or better than the 40mm?
