Value of Agfa B2 Shur-shot Box Camera?
"Ol' Duffer" wrote in message ... Anyone care to speculate on the value of this antique Agfa B2 Shur-shot box camera? Don't know if this qualifies as medium-format, but it's bigger than 35mm. I'm probably going to put it on eBay, and wanted to get some ideas so I know what to ask for starting bid, etc. Thanks. http://www2.wcoil.com/~olduffer/shurshot.html I happened to see one in pretty fair shape at an antique place near Princess Anne Md. last week. I almost bought it just for the take-up reel. they were asking $10.00. They also had several other box cameras, one identical to the one which started me down the path to photography in 1946. All were about the same price but some not in so good shape. Good luck, dr bob. |

Hey, don't just take my word as fact - there was only the one Agfa that I saw. A sample space of one is hardly hard fact. Check around Ebay and see other auctions. If your Agfa is in good order and especially if it "looks" good, it might solicit additional interest. I'm not a collector as such. I mainly _use_ all the old stuff I have gotten from friends and associates. It seems I am a camera magnet, especially as the digital boom has blossomed. Free is pretty cheap :-) Truly, dr bob |

There were at least two Agfa B2's, one a box camera and the other a folding
camera. Being the "camera-maker to the masses" so to speak, Agfa made these by the bazillions, and lots of them are still around. It may have sentimental value, but the chances that it will ever be worth anything more than $5-10 are not good. Tom P. "Ol' Duffer" wrote in message ... In article , says...
