Does anyone have a feel for the going rate of crinkle-painted Nikon RF/F cassettes?

I have one with its case but no idea of price. Check evil-bay.

I think there might be several different versions, so make sure you get the one that fits your camera.

A good buy these days on the rangefinder compatible model is less than $15. When I have the cash to spend, I buy all that I can find at decent prices and haven't paid more than $15. Sometimes you can find them for $5 each but those are rare cases. I now have 16 of them and shooting with them is great.

The Nikon re-laodable are good. The crackle finished ones fits all the Rf's as well as the F's.They are bit more lightweight than the Leica IXMOO's though. Biggest problem is the "spring lock" disc on top. It is a push fit and with time can pop off (no locking function). They are considerably easier to load than the Leica ones. The "open" slots makes it a quick action to put together. No more fishing for a leader through 2 slots as the Leica. The are thinner material and can easily deform is squeezed. I have spent a considerable time accumulating them and now have enough to load 400 ft of film (70+).
Some of the very early all brass ones can be difficult to use on S3/SP's and in one instant I had one lock up completely. Had to use brute force to open the lock on the camera!!!!

Here is some of my Nikon cassettes - since that photo I have added more. Now can spell Nikon SP Black with them!!!!
The center spools of the Nikon Cassettes are bewildering - I have at least 7-8 variations and in the end have resorted to just taping the film to the center spool.
