What Polaroid cameras are worth
What lifts the price
- Working flash and functioning rollers
- Folding models with intact bellows
What pulls it down
- Cameras taking discontinued film formats
- Dirty rollers causing streaked images
Working out what yours is worth
- Shine a torch inside the bellows in a dark room to find leaks
- Clean the rollers and run a test pack if you have one
Getting it ready
- Load a pack and take a shot. A camera that has not been tested is worth far less because most old instant cameras do not work.
- Clean the rollers inside the film door, which is what causes streaked and blotchy pictures.
Photograph
- The camera closed and opened, whole, from the front
- The model name and any battery compartment, plus every scuff or crack
Put in the description
- Model, and the exact film format it takes
- Battery type, and whether the camera takes batteries or the film pack does
Light and easy to post. Remove any film pack and batteries before sending, and pad the bellows on folding models, which crease permanently if compressed.
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.
