I have four classic cameras that are worth £100-200 in total, from what I can see on eBay. I have minimal experience with photography and since these seem to be quite nice cameras I'd rather sell them than just keep them in a box forever. Are there any popular forums or classified ads listings for this sort of thing in particular?

Thanks

TalkPhotography has a reasonable film contingent and a classifieds section but I think you need to be a member for 60 days before you can even see that board, let alone post in it. Dunno about other photography forums but there are plenty out there. You could perhaps approach local camera stores to see if they're interested, or just go the usual gumtree/ebay route.

Yea, that forum restricts access to the classifieds.
Local shops told me they're worthless and they'll take them off my hands for free if I wanted. I suggested that I check eBay first of all and they desperately pleaded with me not to waste me time even looking. Then, how strange, I looked and it seems they're worth a nice little bit of money. I don't have the balls to argue with shop owners, so I guess I'll stick them on eBay.

Thanks,

Not surprised they tried to fob you off tbh - most people assume old cameras are worth naff all and they are happy to play on that (can't imagine their margin is great without that). Not really worth your time arguing with them, better off sticking them on ebay with a decent description. I would be interested in the whole lot at the right price but it'd have to be reasonably cheap as I've already bought a few cameras recently. Feel free to PM me if you want a chat about it.

I imagined TSR wouldn't allow it... but whatever, I'm no stranger to mod warnings:

"Here are some pictures of the cameras I mentioned. From my uninformed perspective they all appear to be in very good condition. They belonged to an old man who lived near me, and when he died his family (presumably) basically threw all his stuff away, so I held onto these and some other bits. They're a bit dusty in these pics, which I took a couple of years ago. Since then they've been in a box, covered, at normal bedroom temperature/humidity:

Arg, I was searching for a trip 35 and I just bought one! But they're only worth about a tenner friend, I've don't the research.

Would take it off your hands for a fiver

Also, th other dual reflex cameras such as the lubitel look cool!
