I have a new treasure for you today

Ready?

Lets go…

A few months ago I was at a friend’s parents
house. Her parents had recently redone the
garage and turned their attic into some
extra living space (Their attic lookes huge now)

Anyway, the mom was showing me around when
she told me she had something for me to sell
on ebay

I thought to my self…

What could this item be…

So she took me up the attic, went around the
divider and came back with a basket that
contained some “stuff”

I chuckled.

I was thinking… Lets see what kind of
girly stuff are in there…

She lays the basket on the table and starts
pulling out things and places them on the
table.

I was like, oh my gosh, I dont want to sell these
things. I want to keep them for myself

See…

When she started showing me these old SLR
cameras (one of them was a Canon, the other
was an older Olympus), and all the accessories
that came with them, I felt like a little
kid in the playground.

I love photography. I would buy vintage
photography equipment at a good deal ANY DAY.

After thanking her forever, I took the
basket home and “played” with its contents
the whole evening.

Then next day hit me…

I wonder how much these would sell for on
ebay. so I looked into it and what I found
can be very lucrative to the right person:

Nikon F2 SLR Sold for: $219.51

Pentax LX SLR Sold for $200

Here are the data from my eBay Research Tool

63% List to Sale Ratio for the term “Film SLR”
with an average price of $77.03

With the rise of Digital cameras, people that
arent really into Photography, just decide to
get rid of their old cameras for pennies.

I ve bought vintage cameras from flea markets,
yard sales and thrift stores before. Now I dont
sell them because I am the kind of guy that
likes to buy them (I am the customer

Dont forget that lenses, and other accessories
also do well on ebay. Some times vintage lenses
do better than cameras themselves.

treasure
