I've noticed that projector prices are quite depressed on ebay at present so it begs the question - how close to the £200 mark is this seller expecting to get? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ELMO-E-80-8mm-FILM-PROJECTOR-PORTABLE-OHNAR-VU-EDITOR_W0QQitemZ110448452193QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Photography_VintagePhotography_VintagePhotoAccessories?hash=i tem19b73da261

my guess is it'll come up £185.00 short

It's "Vintage very rare" but he apparently doesn't know much about projectors.

It really does depend on the projector.

The top of the line ELMO's (GS1200's, for instance), the top of the range Chinon's (9500 mag/optical, for instance) and a few others willalmost always fetch a good price.

Interestingly, the top of the line EUMIG prices I have noted are getting lower. Other "rarity" projectors fetch a tiudy sum as well.

But I do believe that over time, every price will drop as Super 8 fades still further which, for the reamining collectors, will make things even better.
