Worth of Bessa-L + CV 21mm f4 and VF

[sper]

A friend of mine is thinking of selling his Bessa L and V'lander 21mm ƒ4 to me, but we didn't really know how much the thing is worth.

What are these cameras going for used? It's a bit easier for me to price out the lens, but the body I'm seeing for $26-175 dollars on ebay.

I feel like the whole kit's worth about $300 dollars. It's used but in pretty good condition. (Honestly I'm the one who did most of the using!)

It'll tide me over until I can afford a Biogon.

(btw almost everything in the New York Studies gallery on my website was shot with this camera and lens combo, when I borrowed it from him in 2007).

I bought that exact kit a couple of months ago. It was in excellent condition and I paid $350 CDN for it. It popped up on our local Craigslist so I didn't really do any shopping around but I thought at the time that the price was pretty good for what I got. The 21/4 Color Skopar in LTM mount is $369 at Cameraquest and they want about $130 for the 21 Brightline viewfinder...

Black or Silver (both)?

$300 USD seems fair for both, perhaps a bit low if it was street price. I believe friends should be cut a deal (hence my pricing on classified here) so $300 is a fine price.

IMHO a black/black combo should go for slightly higher as it's a kick a55 street shooter kit. I prefer the 25/4, but that is me.
