HU: 100mm Bronica RF lens listed

[Jungle Jim]

Just a heads-up! New condition Bronica RF 100mm lens listed on *bay listing number 160224665242.

No relationship to the Seller.

 

[Michael P.]

Starting bid $735. Let's see how desperately it's wanted.

 

[Keith]

I'll definitely be watching this and I'll predict close to $1500.00!

Sellers feedback is only 91.3%, very low for eBay.

I hadn't noticed that and with a big ticket item that could definitely effect the price he gets.

Two negatives in nineteen sales is not great and so far no opening bid!

 

[Michael P.]

I mispoke. Starting bid is $725.

 

[Michael P.]

It's hard to tell until the last few minutes of the auction. Often at the last minute the pro buyers use software to quickly outbid everyone else.

 

[Michael P.]

One bidder at the starting bid of $725. It looks like a pro buyer/seller, very active buying in the past 30 days.

 

[Michiel Fokkema]

If it ends at $1500, I will put mine up too.
With 220 100% feedbacks I should get even more🙂

Cheers,

You would almost certainly need to find a European buyer for that price, with the US dollar currently so weak against the Euro.

Not only that, one of the negative dings is for not shipping an item and no email communication. That's inexcusable. I doubt this will be a good measuring stick for the current value of this lens. It will definitely keep me out of the bidding.

 

[Michael P.]

The lens sold today at US $1081.00. The top three bids were made in the last 10 minutes of the auction.

but if I would buy from an American seller I would have to add about 25% fees/taxes for import into the EU. And this would be too expansive.
But if now anyone would sell within the EU for USD 1081.- feel free to contact me. Or import as American tourist yourself and sell afterwards ;-)

I won the lens.

I won the lens.

I won the auction. I too was put off by the feedback but the seller agreed to let me pick up the lens. The lens is for all intents new. There isn't a mark on it. The only other one availabe was from a european sell at $1500US.

 

[Michael P.]

Good for you, Felix. I'm glad it worked out. I'm now in the middle of a deal for a 100mm for US $1000, so I think the price you paid was the current going rate in the USA. Prices in Europe are bound to be higher because of the strong Euro lately.

Congratulations Felix! Let us know how it works and if the 100mm rangefinder lines on your Bronica body are accurate.

I don't remember seeing any images here shot with the 100mm and I'm still yet to use mine that I picked up from B&H recently for $399.00 😱 (thankyou god)

I may give it a run in the next day or so and post some pics as well!
