Re: How to price an FE for selling?

193.247.37.125

From your description, I would guess a fair price of about $250, but possibly a bit lower than that (even down to $200 depending on what excellent means). I'm guessing 8/ex+, but needing a new finder.

Scan the prices of used cameras on the B&H and Shutterbug websites. I don't know if Shutterbug is still in print, but if it is, look in the classifieds - you're sure to find an FE or 3 somewhere - and price accordingly. Or call Mora Camera Service in Washington DC and ask Jorge what an FE should sell for. If you live in the DC area he'll sell on consignment. (202 362-9866)

Your Nikkor lens is actually a 43-86 and it is not very good. However, it is an oddity that a casual collector might buy. The price would need to be pretty low, though, and the condition pretty good. You didn't mention the brand of the 80-200. Most off brands from the AI days were of less than magnificent quality.

My personal opinion is that you have a GREAT body and no lens to match. You might consider selling the 2 lenses and getting a single very good one. And taking up photography again. (The FM/FE/FA series of bodies are light but very durable, and allow use of all the Nikkor lenses.)

Or try selling the 3 as a group for $250/50/50 and being willing to take $275-300 for the package.
