Simon - As has been commented so many times on this forum, there are so many people who just have not got a clue about pricing when it comes to films and projectors. Another case of either "I'll get rich quick" or "It is valuable to me"
Would it be an idea to let that person know your expertise on this subject(which he/she probably already does,hence the list reaching your attention)and what prices would be reasonable for each individual item? After all, it may simply be the third reason....."polite ignorance."

Actually i agree with Rob completely...move the decimal over to the left and you got it almost perfect. This is in pounds of course which is double the value of my dollar(Can$). Here is what i value these at in canadian:
STAR WARS 200' $45 IVANHOE 400' $40 BEN HURR 400' $40 TOM & JERRY 200' $25
ELMO ST180 PROJECTOR $150 (i bought a MINT ST600 from a fleamarket last a couple weeks ago for $50,but i was lucky) ELMO CINE CAMERA This one i don't know. I'll go with rob's value on it.

This week I think the pound is worth a lot less than two dollars. A recent news article had "The average US dollar rate at the airports is down to $1.08 to the pound." Not that I would say that airports are in any way good places to exchange currencies nor do I know the US - Canadian Dollar rate.

Simon I hope you let the friend of a friend know your value of these, and also your opinion of the trusted photographer.
