I watch Craigslist for deals on used gear, and lately I have seen some really silly ads. For instance, I saw a used Nikkormat with a 50mm and some off-brand zoom lens for $850... you could get the same items from KEH for under $200. I also found a used Mamiya RB67 with two lenses for $5000, you could buy a new camera of the same brand for less. What does the forum think of this, is it a sign of prices to come as film cameras continue to go out of production?
"I paid $400 new - I'll take $380!"
Remember, KEH (et al) is a business, where Harry or Sally on Craig's list is just trying to unload some un-needed stuff and make a home (or drug) payment, etc.
good lord--- I would be happy to part with my RB67--- tell ya what, I will take $4000 and I will toss in a bag too.
For film dev and darkroom stuff, Craigslist has been the bees' knees for me.
