Rolliecord camera score

Punatic · Jun 29, 2014

Don't know much about cameras but I just had a feeling this one was to cool to pass up for $8... I left for vacation before snapping pics so this is of an identical one from the bay...mine is complete with leather case and a couple accessories...pretty pumped on the find!

Nice buy. Best place to find value is a quick search on EBay. Thanks for sharing...

Now that's a hell of a score for 8 bucks. Funny thing this last weekend at the thrift shop I see this closed box for a Minolta-16 mini for 12 bucks. I open it up and see it's all there. I didn't even think I'd need to pull up any history on it as this is something a camera collector would give and EZ 50 bucks for I'm thinking. I checked when I got home and the SOB'nig thing ain't even going for the 12 bucks I gave on some cases.

I guess I was thinking in the past. You did great on your vintage camera deal. Mine on the other hand will go in to the novelty of sh*t I should of looked up first collection of mistakes. I keep forgetting to use the technology we have at our finger tips these days, as I still rely on my gut instincts like I have for so many years. I'll bet no one else on this forum ever does what I just did ?. Your all superstars hittin deal after deal, day after day aren't ya ? . Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of that

Be sure to compare lenses when trying to determine value.

I actually walked away from the sale because most cameras I look up are worthless. Something told me to go back and grab it, when I did look up the sold listings I was pumped to see that I should get about $150 for this guy!

And trust me I've bought some doozies...a certain $400 dollar deal I didn't do diligence on still haunts me.
