Recent eBay sales: $79 (Canon AE-1 Program 35mm Film Camera Body Only + Strap + Battery -…); $135 ([Near MINT w/Strap] Canon AE-1 Program 35mm SLR Film Camera Body Only…); $143 ([Near MINT] Canon AE-1 Program SLR 35mm Film Camera Black Body From…); $117 (Canon AE-1 Program Silver Film Camera Body Only Serviced & Tested…).

What makes one worth more or less?

Body only vs. with a lens: a working lens can be worth more than the body, so price them as what you actually have. A working light meter and accurate shutter speeds are what serious buyers check first. "Meter works" in a listing adds real money. Lens fungus, haze or separation lowers the price a lot. Look through it at a bright light.
