I'm more interested in finding out what this is worth for a friend who wants to sell all of it. We have no idea what to ask. Please give me some info on worth and if there is a market for these old cameras.
Thanks.

Personally no idea of value. Try looking on eBay to see what is being asked for there for similar kit. Watching the end of a sale will give a pretty good idea of value, unless it is some nutter bidding.

I'm with Malcomb, can't say 'cause I usually look for Nikons. When you check eBay, also look for completed auctions to see what they actually sold for. Also try used equipment sellers, KEH, Adorama, etc., then knock off a few dollars from their prices.

Thank you all. I will try some of these links. It seems like a good deal for a vintage film buff, but setting a price is a mystery to me.

It's so sad to say that I looked on eBay and see them going for $.99 to $20 with the same flash and a 50mm Canon FD lens.

Looks like it is in great shape. now the bad news, $60.00 to $70.00 is top dollar amount on ebay. try craigslist, at about $80.00

Thanks Jeep Daddy and Gene,
I figured that the whole lot wasn't going to be worth much, even though the camera is in great condition.
I will inform my friend of all your ideas and estimates and let him decide what to do.Thanks again.
