Junk is junk. If the enlarger cost 2,000 ....10 years ago
and looks brand new,......well it would be fair to get
1,000 don't ya think. Just because its fair does not mean they
will get the asking price. Meerly that ista fair asking price
reflective if the original price. Now if the item is a 5 on a scale of
10 then maybe a 1/4 of the price would be fair. Digital or not someone
who appreciates a good working order item will still appreciate getting a
fair deal. Try etting that from a photo dealer and you my as well
give it to them. What it boils down to is look at the price that was paid and realistically
assess the condition, and that will give you at least a good place to start.


My Beseler 4x5 came from a dealer. One of the best in town. It's not mint
but good enough it came with a 6 month warranty. No lenses but almost every
carrier made and a bunch of lensboards. 2 years ago it set me back
something around $250 US. When I wanted a colour head I instead bought an
almost NIB Durst 4x5 for $300. 4x5 enlargers just aren't selling for big
money today.
