What is a reasonable price for a nice Crown Graphic without a lens or board?
What is a reasonable price for a nice Crown Graphic without a lens or board?
Which price... for buying or selling?
Buying...but a reasonable price is a reasonable price regardless.
The reason I ask is partly because I'm convinced that the Crowns have become more "valuable" than they are worth.
An Crown in excellent condition with lens and a top-mounted rangefinder goes for about $400. Maybe $275-325 for one with the side rangefinder. I'd say about $200 for one in great shape without lens or lens board, but the price range varies quite a bit. You could probably get one for $75-150 if you are patient.

$150-175
Anything more is a ripoff...
Due to the recent boom in LF camera buying. Most are unfortunately now $250 Plus.

There is one listed on Ebay without lens, buy it now for $299.00. It is a later model with top rangefinder and it looks to be in pretty good shape.
It has been on there for quite a while so obviously the Seller is asking too much.
Sellers are asking $500-$600 for nice late models with Zenars on Ebay. Notice I said "asking".
You need to be patient like Peter recommends if you want a good deal.
Last week a clean one with a good Xenar sold Buy It Now for $295, others went at auction in the low $300s. You might as well get one with a lens/top rangefinder since nearly all of them are cammed ~ hold out for a clean nice one.
If the description and photos are murky you could go $150 and buy two, chances are you'd get a good one plus parts.
Thanks, the one I am looking at is really nice for $265.
Frank, I know you are a fan of this camera. In your opinion what are the drawbacks from this camera?
