Leica LTM Summicron collapsible hood, worth how much?

[ludoo]

I found a Summicron collapsible hood this morning at a flea market, the metal one that folds into a flat package. I have no Summicron (I have no Leica for that matter, just a Canon IIF) so I'm thinking of selling it.

There's one on ebay now with a 200$ BIN price, which frankly seems a bit too much even for a Leitz accessory. Mine is in better condition than the ebay one, any ideas how much this thing is worth?

Nice hood, great piece of 50s desgin.

Their other items seem to be overprices by a factor of 3 - for instance the collapsible Summicron, and a Nikkormat in worse condition than one I was just given by my next door neighbour.

I always thought these hoods went for $60-90 in reasonable condition. Here's another completed eBay sale at $67.50:

If it's a SOOFM shade (clip on version), KEH has two of them - one for $43.00 and one for $49.00.

Rhona45th seems to be the Photo Arsenal of NYC - meaning, their prices seem to be a bit nuts, so I wouldn't necessarily base the value of your shade on their prices (IMHO).

Thanks for the replies, which confirm my initial guess of about 50 euros. Will probably put it up for sale here then try evilbay. One of the rare occasions when money enters my wallet instead of leaving it for equipment. 🙂
