Is The Chassis The Same As A Omega F?
Though the market is much smaller, I suspect that 8x10 enlargers may be holding up in price slightly better than 4x5 now that all the 8x10s the labs gave away when they went out of business or switched to digital have pretty much been taken up. Obviously your problem is shipping. Something this big is likely going to cost more to ship than a buyer would be willing to pay for the enlarger. So you'll have to find a buyer within delivery distance, which limits your market. But at least you're in a major metropolitan area. I'd put it on Craig's List and see what happens. You could also try the free classifieds at www.photo.net and here as well. I'm guessing you might get $200- $300 for it if you can find a buyer who'll pick it up but that's a complete guess.
