After a three years of using them daily, I'm thinking of selling my pair of Hexar RF bodies; I'm just not using them since getting my M6. I'm not sure how to price them though. Most of these that I've seen for sale recently have been in like new or excellent condition, with prices ranging from $600 to $800 - they seem to have gone up over the last year - but mine aren't in excellent shape. They are probably more like bargain or even ugly but working condition.
Both have a bit of paint loss along the edges and some wear on the knurling of the shutter speed dial. That's the extent of the wear on the first body, but the second body has had a harder life. It's missing the screw to hold in the frame preview lever - currently held on with tape - has a slightly loose frame advance switch - can be tightened if you take off the top deck - and finally, the rear lens of the eyepiece has been replaced with non-original equipment. The lens focal length still matches, and hence the rangefinder is not impaceted, but it looks a little goofy.
Both cameras work fine, meter accurately, and have clean and accurate rangefinders. They haven't been abused or used professionally, just used as everyday shooters for a couple of years. I'm sure they'd continue to give someone good service in that role, but I don't know how to price them.
What would be fair for these? I'd probably be selling a 28 and 90 Hex with them (both in excellent shape) as well as a Biogon 35 F2 (also excellent). Of course, I'd be offering them for sale in the rff classifieds.
