I'm looking at purchasing a used Canon XL-1,3-4 years old, (NTSC) with standard equipment package. It's in good condition. I've been asked to make an offer. Any idea what something like this would be worth?

I've been asked to make an offer. Any idea what something like this would be worth? Ken Tanaka January 23rd, 2002, 11:21 PM The standard XL-1 kit, when new, ran approx. $4,000. The value of a 3 yr old cam will, of course, depend on its overall condition, particularly with regard to its tape transport and head wear. Unless you've had a chance to shoot with it and see the footage it would be hard to judge this. In excellent condition I might guess it to be worth around $2500-$2700. Perhaps the best way to get a baseline valuation is to see what they're going for on eBay. dvnmtaos January 24th, 2002, 10:22 AM Thanks, Ken Mike Butler January 24th, 2002, 05:43 PM Good suggestion, eBay. Got one there last year, good condition, basic camera, $2500. |
