Wanting to sell my Black Canon QL17 Luxury.

[dave y]

Hi,
I'm interested in selling my Black Canon QL17 Luxury rangefinder.
It is alot more rare than the black GIII version.
I am trying to work out a buy it now price to list it on Ebay but i can't seem to be able to find any of these that have been for sale lately to work out a price.
Does anybody know roughly how much these sell for?
I know the Black GIII has been sellinbg for roughly £150 and above lately.

Thanks

It has the 40mm F1.7 lens.
All working and tested with a battery as well.
Shutter speeds seem very accurate.
Self timer working.
Meter working.
Battery check working.
Glass lovely and clean.

Thanks Double Negative but that isn't the same model.
Mine is the rare black QL Luxury version and not the very common silver GIII version.

Prices on these '70's rangefinders have been falling lately, so it's hard to tell. There is one listed on eBay right now, overhauled it says, so wait five days and see what it sells for!

auction # is: 160339634817

Thank you so much Pickett.
I've looked all over for one for sale and must of missed this one!

Probably was just listed as a 6 day auction.

The QL isn't really a luxury version but the early (or rather intermediate) version, where there is a tradeoff in desirability between rarity and age - while collectors prefer the former, users will go for the latter, so that they overall tend to sell for about the same price. Yours being black will have a far more considerable impact on the price than QL vs GIII ...

Have to admit I had to look up the difference myself:
