I found a wisner 5x7 at a camera shop for $950 with 6 lens boards and both 4x5 and 5x7 backs. The guy said they have been sitting on it for some time so i would offer much less but i am curious as to the value. Had red bellows and looked like it had a lot of extension. Not sure of exact model as they were busy and i was in a hurry but i may be able to describe it if that helps. Thanks for any help. No lens included or holders.
They were selling a while back in good used condition for $1200 with one board.
I wouldn't buy it if you're not planning to use it. They're not easy to move and make a profit. Which is why it's been at the store so long.
If it's not in "like new" shape, they're even harder to resell.
Unless you are doing 5 x 7 now plan on spending a few hundred more for film holder and developing equipment.
So I would offer $200 and be willing to go up to $250. Otherwise let it sit in his inventory and cost him money for every month it doesn't move.
