So Mamiya 6 prices seem to have gone up in the past year since I bought mine. What would you guys say the going rate is for a Mamiya 6 (non-MF) and all 3 lenses in good condition?
 
i've seen the 6 and 6 MF go for similar prices, I dont thing the MF is deterring sales. I've been watching ebay pretty closely for a body + 75 combo, and I've seen them go between $900 and $1700. (Obviously I missed the $900 buy it now :bang:).

Considering duties + taxes I'll have to pay, I've been bidding no more than $1300 and haven't won one yet.

That's my experience anyway. Seems since I've started looking (a few months ago) the prices have gone up as well.
 
The $900 BIN ones are usually from Japan. I wouldn't even want to know shipping/duty charges for those!

So you've been bidding 1300 for the body + 75mm combo and not winning? Wow, I built my set-up for a steal then. Maybe I should just sell it and make a nice profit! Naw, I couldn't let a camera this nice go that easily.

What about prices for the other two lenses? Is $800 for the 50mm and $300 for the 150mm reasonable?
 
I sold my Mamiya 6 + 75mm for $1100 a couple years ago. It was in excellent condition with a relatively new shutter overhaul. At that time, it was a very fair price. I probably could've gotten $100 more for it b/c of its condition, but I didtn have the patience. Am glad that it went to another RFFer.
 
The prices for the bodies have gone up. I figure a 6 with 75mm now for about $1000-1200. The lens prices haven't changed much in years, 50mm going for about $800-900, 75mm for $350-400, and the 150mm is cheap, about $250.

I was fortunate enough to pick up my Mamiya with 75mm off ebay in 2007 for about $850. I recently bought another body last year for about $700. So prices have definitively gone up. KEH is listing a Mamiya 6 body in EX condition for $1369!!
 
Ya the KEH prices are what really caught my attention as they usually have the cheapest prices around.

I built my whole 3 lens + body set-up for $1,600 over the course of the past year. Guess it was a good investment!
