Average price of a Mamiya 6 kit?

[jultou]

In your opinion, what would be the value a of Mamiya 6 kit including 50mm, 75mm and 150mm lenses?

I paid 1600 for a body and 50mm. When I tried to sell it I only managed to get $1100. It was pretty rough. It's a good time to buy. The 75 can for for 350 and the 150 around the same, possibly less.

A friend of mine paid 400 for a body and a 75, keep your eyes open.

Bonne chance.

I did look in past classified and It ooks like the price and resell value are highly unstable.

Buying and selling used film gear is probably a hobby for all of us, and i realized the answer for the value of any item is a tricky "whatever someone is willing to pay for it". I have been really disappointed when my auctions did not bring home what I wanted to. From a buyer's point of view - if you keep looking and have a stack of cash ready to burn at a moment's notice, you'll eventually find a great deal (like the $400 mentioned above) - but that is expensive in both your time invested and the opportunity cost of time not having the camera. If you think of pricing in terms of a bell curve, I would image that $1100 is about the middle, "normal" price for a Mamiya 6/7 + standard lens.

I paid 2k for the complete set about 1.5-2 years ago.

Not cheap. Not expensive either. Fair deal IMO

Look like a great system. Very tempting a actual prices...

Paid $2k for Mamiya 6 and all three lenses in very good condition. Bought another body for $350 and had a new winder assembly put in for another $400.

I purchased a Mamiya 6MF, all of the lenses (complete with nice B&W glass filters!) and the panoramic adapter all in excellent condition from Calumet Photo in Chicago for $1500 in 2010. It was an awesome deal, probably the best camera purchase I've ever made.

I picked up a second Mamiya 6 body last summer from Map Camera, for around $400, which was also in very good condition... I'd been looking for a good deal on a second body for a long time, during 2011 and early 2012 the prices seemed to peak. (Adorama and B&H were both selling bodies for $1200!) But I think the prices are becoming better again.
