What has a Canon AV-1 35mm SLR film camera body sold for recently?

Recent eBay sales: $108 ([Near Mint+++] Canon AV-1 SLR 35mm Film Camera Body Only Black From…); $140 (Canon AV-1 SLR 35mm Film Camera (Black) Tested/Working Fresh CLA); $90 (Canon AV1 Film Camera excellent used condition); $120 (Canon AV-1 35mm Film Camera Body Black SLR, Model Excl+5, Japan Import).

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.
