Used film cameras in Udaipur typically sell for ₹3,100 to ₹13,000 (about $33 to $135). Film cameras are bought to be used, so the questions that matter are whether the shutter fires at all speeds, whether the light seals have perished, and whether the meter works.
Selling a film camera in Udaipur
Hotels and guesthouses replace furnishings on a commercial cycle here far more than in ordinary cities, and the wedding trade means occasion clothing is bought, worn once and sold on in genuine volume.
The old city around the lakes is narrow and largely unsuitable for vehicles, so agree a landmark outside it for anything large. The newer parts of the city are straightforward to drive in.
On occasion clothing, ask how many times it has actually been worn. A great deal here is worn once for a wedding and is genuinely as-new, but the answer is what separates that from a hire-trade piece.
Udaipur, in Rajasthan, has around 460,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Jaipur, Jodhpur and Kota are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Udaipur
Demand climbs ahead of the festival season and again in the run-up to wedding season, when clothing, jewellery and home items all move faster.

What film cameras are worth
What lifts the price
- A working light meter, which many buyers assume is dead
- Sought-after compact and SLR models that gained a following
What pulls it down
- Sticky or slow shutter speeds, common on cameras left unused for years
- Battery corrosion in the compartment
Working out what yours is worth
- Fire the shutter at every speed and listen for ones that hang
- Shine a torch through the lens looking for haze or fungus threads
Getting it ready
- Open the back and check the light seals. Perished foam is extremely common and cheap to replace, but must be disclosed.
- Put a fresh battery in if it has a meter, and check the meter responds to changing light.

Brand, model and format: “Canon AE-1 35mm SLR with 50mm f/1.8 Lens, Working”. Format matters — 35mm, medium format, point and shoot are different audiences. Say plainly whether it is tested and working or sold as seen, because that distinction sets the price band.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
