Where to sell my Graflex 45 slr

Hi everyone, I was wondering where would you recommend to sell some of my Graflex SLR's . Ebay prices are really depressed since the digital wave has hit our shore. Before you could see a mint 45 super d for $1,200 or more. I shoot with a H1w/PhaseOne P25 back for my commerical work but will still break out the Super D on site when the mood hits. The subjects love it, especially the vintage soft fall offs look. Any suggestion would be appreciated thanks in advance Nelson

Nelson:

Try here on P-net classifieds & also consider APUG as there are a lot of people there who would be interested.

I'm not sure if you have to be a member - I am but have not listed anything there.

Other option is going the ebay route & simply put a reserve on it.

My son has my father's Super D & it's a bit of a sentimental family item for him (&me too).

Good Luck

There has been a Super D on eBay for months now for around $650 without any takers, so I'm guessing that you aren't going to get $1200. I paid $150 for a 4x5 RB Auto and I've seen a series D go for around $300 so you might reasonably hope for $500 or so depending on condition. The graflok back is a huge plus compared to the graflex back if you have other 4x5 gear with graflok/international backs.

Prices for Super Graphics and Super Speed Graphics have also fallen a bit since I started watching them and I think you could get a nice clean one for $300 - $400.

It could be worse, you could have spent a lot of money on Medium Format gear.
