Default Fair value for Beseler 4x5 enlarger

I'd say something around $200 would be fair. A Beseler MXII enlarger with
two El Nikkor lenses and negative carriers pretty much the same as those
included here recently sold on e bay for $255. I believe the MXII is a newer
enlarger than the M. A Beseler MCRX enlarger (also newer than the M I
believe) with a $200 opening price attracted no bids at all but I don't
think it had as many accessories as yours. I'm not sure there's much of a
market for an enlarger as old as the M with old, less than top-of-the line
lenses like the Componons so $200 might be on the high side of fair.

Hello:

What would a fair value be for a Beseler 4x5 enlarger (model 45M?)? It's
an older model (black crinkle paint). Complete, in pretty good shape. No
damage. Excellent bellows - no holes or tears. Wooden base is in good
condition with just a few light chemical stains. Enlarger has the motor
drive. With neg carriers for 35mm, 6x6, 6x9, and glass 4x5. Built in red
filter. Aristo cold light head. Older Schneider 105mm and 135mm Componon
lenses (not S models). Lenses probably about same age as enlarger.

Just need a ballpark idea. Thanks in advance.
