Bronica Rf 645 outfit price??

[Photon-hunter]

Hi to all again. Hope I can get some advise:

I´ve had my mint Bronica RF 645 outfit (Camera,65,45 with boxes, ext.viewfinder, documents and everything that came with it) for sale on several forums for a couple of weeks now with very little success...I dont know what a setup like this can go for (It is absolutely mint and has seen very little use) but I am asking 1100$ plus shipping..is this price realistic or I am off by too much?

Thanks for your help.

Regards, Erik.

Good luck with your attempted sale. The price seems OK. If not your feedback it might be your location. I don't know about EU buyers, but buyers in the US probably aren't comfortable buying from Spain. Nothing wrong with Spain, but I suspect there just aren't that many purchases from the US to have built up confidence.

I would say its a realistic price but your issue is that your biggest market is the US. Dollar is weak and people are wary perhaps of buying from the EU. Had I not just bought the Mamiya 7ii I would have been very interested in it at that price, was either going to buy the Mamiya or the Bronica...

George hasn't checked recently. KEH in the U.S. has been selling the camera and 65mm lens together for $1000 or $1100, depending on whether they call it EX or EX+, I think. Of course, they also offer it with a guarantee.

Thanks for all the kind responses. I have received separate offers for 45 mm alone and the kit with the 65 mm lens. The truth is I dont know what would be a fair price for the 45 lens alone..any light? I need to give the buyer an answer soon...

Regarding KEH, I believe their prices are a bit on the "high" end...

Thanks again, Erik.

If it's mint, with box and stuff, maybe $500? The 45 is not as hard to find as the 100, but you can't just go out and buy a new one, either. Strangely, B&H and Adorama both list a 65mm lens as their only available used RF645 thing, and they want $300 for it.

I really wish that Tamron had stayed with the system long enough to make a 35mm or 30mm lens for it.
