It seems kind of odd to join a group when I'm thinking about getting rid of the very reasons for doing so...

Is it OK to post a "what's it worth?" question here? I've accumulated some Auto 110 gear but I simply don't use it enough and would like to find it a new home, but have no idea of its value and could use some guidance. Before actually listing it and asking I thought it better to ask permission first. Thanks!

It depends on the gear. For example, is it a boxed set with various accessories. How many lenses, flash etc etc. The fact that film is fast drying up isn't helping at all.

No, it's basically a mishmash of 4 bodies (3 Autos, 1 Super), 18-24-50mm lenses, closeup lenses, and flashes I've accumulated over the years:

3 Auto bodies (2 CLA'd by Eric, 1 needs CLA)
1 Super body (CLA'd by Eric)
At least 3 24mm lenses
1 or 2 18mm lenses
1 or 2 50mm lenses
W21, S16, S31, and T43 closeup lenses
A couple of working AF130P flashes
A couple of disassembled AF100P flashes (parts or repair)
A couple of working winders with broken battery cover latches
2 small Hirsch aluminum cases with foam inserts

I'm not at home right now and didn't think to fully inventory everything last night, so this is my best guess.

Thanks for the help.

Brad

The best bet would be to sell them individually with 1 lens if possible. Provide documentation proving the CLA on the ones that had them. Look through completed sales on ebay for a ball park price. There hasn't been many sold here and I haven't been tracking the price on these. Also compare prices at Collectable Cameras, KEH and Blue Moon but keep in mind their prices will be at a certain premium because in the case of KEH there is a 60 day warranty.

Edit: If you don't want to fool with it, you could send it to KEH for appraisal along with cla documentation.

I've bought a lot of Auto 110 stuff, and i can definitely say that they're worth more seperately. I bought an Auto 110 with 18, 24, and 50mm lenses for $30, and sold the 18 by itself without front or rear caps for $41.

Also, I didn't know Eric would CLA Auto 110 bodies. How much does he charge? Same as K-mount and Screwmount bodies?

Thanks for the replies and the links. Definitely useful.

I don't have an invoice in front of me but I'm pretty sure the rate for a 110 CLA is comparable to what he charges for 35mm SLRs; at least, it didn't give me a case of sticker shock.

Thanks for the info, and good luck with selling your Auto 110 gear. If you do end up selling, post the link to ebay auctions/PentaxForums marketplace in this thread.

Hello Brad, as unix stated if you sell on ebay or here, let us know. Did you enjoy the camera? Have you or did you post any shots taken with your 110 gear?

The only posted photo is the one here in the forum.

I like the Auto 110 concept but I just have too much stuff and the 110s sit idle, and it's far easier to buy and process 35mm film.

It's too bad Pentax never built a 110 with more manual control. That would've been a fun camera to use.

Brad

I have a 110 Super. if you are selling your Super and any flashes or cases I would be interested. let me know what you are asking for them. thanks

Found 2 Pentax Auto 110 ZOOM lenses, 20-40 mm on Ebay. One bad, one good.....
I have one or I would be bidding.
