Is there a market.......

...for old film cameras?

I have a Canon AE1 with a 50mm; 15-200mm lens and a motor drive and it sits in it's bag in the cupboard doing nothing. Is it worth trying to sell it? If so, E-Bay or is there anywhere else you people in the know might be aware of? And how much do you think I might expect to get for it?

Having a look at "completed" sales on EBAY it seems the camera alone goes for around £30. With lenses & extras more like £50-£70. Better than nothing

Make sure you think of title for EBAY, as this is what everyone searches on. Take decent shots of kit & take time to make Ad look proffessional. That way you'll get best dosh

I often search for example that sold for most & copy their format

E-bay is the place sold my ae1 plus a couple of lenses 2 weeks ago, bid was at £15 with 3 minutes to go and shot up to £73.50 at the end.
