Common questions

What has a Pentax K1000 35mm film camera body sold for recently?

Recent eBay sales: $70 (Asahi Pentax K1000 35mm SLR Film Camera Body Only); $50 (Pentax K1000 35mm Film Manual Focus SLR Camera Body (Chrome)); $65 (Pentax K1000 SLR Film Camera Body with Leather Strap NO CAP USED); $90 (PENTAX K1000 SLR Film Camera - Black (Body Only)).

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.
