Hello.

I have a Contax G1, with 45 and 90mm lenses, and the Flash unit, all in great condition and all working perfectly. I've been hunting around for prices, it seems to vary hugely. I wonder what you'd all think it's worth?

Thanks.
 
Hi Larky,

I got my G1 silver sticker a couple of weeks ago in EX+ condition (KEH standard). This is with a slight LCD bleed (can't see without magnify glass.)

I paid $150 for the body.

I don't know about the lens. However, the 45mm seems to fetch decent price my guess is $200-$300USD

The 90mm I saw one on KEH the other day, and now it is gone. I think it is also around $200-$300

That would be how much I am willing to pay, anyway. :)

Good Luck with your G1.
 
As an ebay price-watcher I 'll say that
G1 Green label Exc cond. goes for $175-200
90mm Sonnar Exc - $165-200
45mm Planar Exc - $275-300
TLA200 Exc - $60-100
TLA140 Exc - $25 -35
The prices in stores like KEH or Shutterblade are higher by 50-75%
It all fetches higher price when broken apart than as a kit.
Good luck.
 
lower bound= $700, upper bound= $835
I must have gotten e better deal since I also got the 28mm Biogon but not the flash.

I almost grabbed that one from you! I was eyeing that one for a little while since I didn't have a big problem, but then simultaneously my Nikon F4's prism LCD bleed went from very minor, to covering the entire meter display, rendering it useless, so I can only shoot in the auto modes, or manual with an external meter. So I was scared away and got a different EX+ G1 for $225.

As far as the 45mm lens goes, I got mine for $300, but they seem to have gone up to the 500's on KEH now. Probably still about $200-300 for the 90mm, and 50 for the flash.
