The
value rating places cameras in $100 price bands, and appears in the title
bar of camera pages in the following format:  |
|
| |
 |
|
The
number multiplied by 100 indicates the top of a 100 U.S. Dollar price band.
For example, represents
a band of $301 to $400, whilst
is $1401 to $1500. |

Price
bands are broad-based and intended as a rough guide only. They are for camera
body + standard lens in generally excellent + cosmetic condition. This equates
to 4 using the PCCGB rating system*. Functional rating is at least F. Cameras
in mint condition will usually, depending on the model, fetch considerably
more, whilst the reverse is true for items in poorer condition. |

For
more detailed price information McKeown's Price Guide to Antique & Classic
Cameras or the Blue Book (Hove Photo Books) may prove useful. At the end
of the day, however, the price will be the price acceptable to both buyer
and seller. |
