Hello
Just a really quick one for anyone who knows more than I. I have been charged with selling some old camera equipment for my Granddad but I don’t know anything about it, I was hoping some people on the board might know a little more and advise what sort of price I should be aiming for so I don’t accidentally sell something stupidly cheap/expensive. The pieces are:
Vivitar BD-2 diffuser in box
E rokkor Lens Minolta enlarger 50mm in box
Johnson Exactum Contact Printer and dark room lamp in box
Computrol film loader no box but with instructions
They all date from the 1970s roughly speaking, any thought very welcome!
*UPDATE*
I am an idiot and didnt look in a second box of stuff, any chance of some info on the following stuff? Make sure Im not dumping anything on ebay that is worth something? Thanks people. The only two things I could find in my search are Vivitar PG-1 and Paterson Major focus finder which may be worth about £20+ each but still I am very much in the dark! They are all in original box apart from the illuminated slide cutter.
Thanks again

I still run one and it's pretty great for us luddites, I can get ridiculously high-end gear for nothing.
The best thing to do would just stick it up on your local craigslist and troll for a uni student. I wouldn't expect to get more than ~20quid though.
Thats pretty much what my quick research around the net told me, good to have someone confirm it.
I thought that perhaps in the digital age people wouldnt care too much about the old stuff - hell I didnt even know what a film loader was until I looked it up, sad I know!
eh, we're getting old. You can't even get fujifilm in bulk rolls anymore. I doubt that colour film bulk rolls are long for this world at all. I think the only two left are Portra 400 and ektachrome.
Just think, kids born today probably will never use a cassette or VHS tape. Hell, optical media might even be a quirky/specialty-use item by the time they're old enough to be aware of things.

Buy my Prints!
Over here anyway, it might be better just to donate so you could claim $X amount on taxes at the end of the year and not deal with trying to sell. Don't know if you can claim anything for charity?
The vivitar flash accessories will sell, they still make flashes that those will match with. If you want to make a good amount without working too hard just take all the vivitar flash stuff and lump them into a lot. Put "Strobist" in the title and collect much buxx.
