mike_elek Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I've been smitten with the Box Tengors as of late. I was following <a href=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7510569589 target=_new>this one on eBay,</a> but opted against bidding once it passed $40. The final price was simply nuts, I think. It was a nice camera, but not that nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolas_douez Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I've been following some similar cameras in France, and the prices have significantly increased here, too (their average selling price is around 80,00 euros, that is ca. $100.00). As well as for the Baby Box Tengor. The Baby might even be more sought after by collectors. It seems that many ZI cameras are becoming "fashion victims" nowadays... :)= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorn ake Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Oh that is nuts. They are a dime a dozen in Europe, I swear. $10 or $15 tops. I bought a box full for my sister-in-law for a contact printing class she teaches and I am pretty sure I barely broke $75 for 6 cameras. Two of them were this exact model, two were the early on and the others were Agfas. BTW, one of my favorites is the Blue Box "Schulpramie" camera from Agfa which as I understand was part of an educational promotion - good students were given this camera as a reward for their grades. As a teacher and a photographer, I thought that was a really great incentive plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_richert Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I keep telling my wife that all my old cameras are doing better than my stocks. Zeiss Tengor above $40, my worth just doubled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_james Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 $191!? I got one off the 'Bay in November for $10.49. It looks good; haven't test driven it yet. It's mind-boggling that two people valued the camera that highly; I'd sell mine to the underbidder in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stwrtertbsratbs5 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 What's going on? An Altissa box camera just went for $70 on e**y! They usually languish or sell for $17. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
