Help in pricing Hexar RF and M-Hexanon lenses

Times are rough, and some of stuff has to go

I've decided that my Hexar RF is the one that will leave the building, and with it the three M-Hexanon lenses (28mm f/2.8, 50mm f/2 and 90mm f/2.8). I don't think I have the boxes that it came with, so these will be unboxed, but with UV filters.

In my own modest way, I have tried to do some research, and have tentatively priced the items as follows:

- Hexar RF (black): $600
- 28mm f/2.8 M-Hexanon: $500
- 50mm f/2 M-Hexanon: $400
- 90mm f/2.8 M-Hexanon: $450

Everything works perfectly, and I was just wondering if my prices were completely unrealistic in the current economic clima? I want to price them to sell, not priced for lingering for weeks in the classifieds.

This is not a "for sale" ad, I will put them up here first - but then as an ad.

Truthfully those prices look a bit on the low side. If you go with those figures I would say prices are "firm".

You will cause a stamped. Especially the 28.

The lenses should all sell at those prices and pretty quickly. I'd be surprised if you didn't have buyers in your PM inbox. You probably should pay for an ad, because you've really just bypassed the process/rules.

i've fairly recently acquired two of the three lenses you list: the 28 and 90. i paid 20% more for the 28 and about 10% more for the 90, if you're including both caps and a decent UV filter. not sure about the body. i was thinking that the hexar would generally track at ~ 50% of an M6 classic, but maybe that's not accurate in the present market.

Wow! The Hexanon lenses continue to command high prices where other gear has dropped in value...most notably that damned Rollei I want to get rid of. After seeing a few Hexanon shots , I picked up the UC 35 (NIB), the 50mm and the 90mm. Gonna have to start using them. I tend to use my 35 asph lux and 50 lux for the most part.

I own the 28, 50 and 90 Hex's. I would agree those prices are on the low side.
