Bessa R, CV 35/2.5, Nokton 50/1.5 value?

[kchan]

Sorry if this is an odd question, but I'm considering letting go of my backup camera set: Bessa R, CV 35/2.5 set (less than 6 months old), Nokton 50/1.5, and Jupiter 9 both bought used. I don't anticipate selling it for what I paid for, but what can I generally expect as a ballpark figure? I had it on ebay and the highest bidder was $420.

Thanks,
Ken

I think if you had sold the items separately you could have sold them for more. The Bessa-R, very very low may be found at $170-250, the Nokton (in very good condition) at about $250-300; these are the low to average prices. I don't know about the 35/2.5. The Jupiter-9, hard to say until one has it in hand.

There's one on PN right now for $110. I think that is less than what they normally go for, however.

Thanks folks. I thought that having a complete set of wide, tele, and fast normal would help it sell. I guess I'll try selling them separately.

I paid about $160 for my CV 35/2.5 on eBay last summer. I've seen some go for a bit less. It's one of the few good deals in the LTM world.

God forbid if CV ever stops making these (and their other LTM lenses). The prices will probably soar.

I paid my CV50/1.5 at GBP150 excluding shipment 3 months ago in RFF. Condition 9. FYI.
