Does anyone have any leads on how to go about selling my Nikon FG-20. I saw a site online that I entered the info on the camera, and it came up as “camera not found”.
I’d like to sell it to someone that I could get as much as I can. I know it’s a dinosaur but if someone could use it for parts…
Does anyone know of any website that would do this?

I had to look it up. That's a film camera from 1984! Almost 40 years old.

Look for photo clubs or film groups in the area that might be interested in film cameras - might be able to sell it there - or donate to a school that teaches photography.

They worked fine as a basic model.

Such cameras are not "vintage", just very old.

It has little to no $$ value, thus theres no real market for its parts, as no one pays expensive skilled labor to repair something whose value may be just 5 or 10% of the cost of that labor.

OTOH whatever lens it has will work on more desirable film cameras and so that is likely to be worth somewhere between zero and $100. Very often its a 50/1.8 series E at about $75.

If the body still works, it might help you sell the lens, but it doesnt add any real value. (If the lens is a 40 years old NON Nikkor then it also has no value.)

KEH shows an FG-20 for $71 in EX+ condition (and they are very fair with their ratings and prices, having been doing the used camera gear business for decades) - you can get a quote from them at keh.com

You probably get the most by selling it here on the UHH. As you can see if KEH is selling it for $71 they would pay around $30. But of course if you sell with the lens the lens may worth more depending on what it is.
The camera is worth about nothing if someone buy it for parts so I assume your camera is fully functioning.

Looks like they are selling on Ebay, just body from about $40.00 to $80.00 depending on condition.
You could sell it here for say, $50-$60.00 bucks. Someone I am sure will buy it if it's in good condition.

I also have an FG-20 with a winder; so light-weight, a nice little camera. Would probably ask $40.

Yea. It is. Back in the day it was a really good camera. But it’s a dinosaur.

I’ll look that one up. The site I used previously didn’t even have it on their list it was so old. Lol

To be honest the FG-20 is near the bottom of the Nikon SLR line back in 1984. The price new for the body is somewhat less than $100.
