Hi all,
As a result of a number of unforeseen circumstances including the entire global economy grinding to a halt, I am having to review the situation, diddle-iddle-ee.
I own an Elmo gs1200 Xenon (M&O), purchased in Munich in 2004, and would like to know it's saleable value in the current climate.
It is not yet for sale. Repeat, not yet for sale.
Selling something as rare and dear to me as this simply to pay some bills is not a step I'll take lightly. However it is a possibility I may need to consider (through gritted teeth).
Please let me know your opinions, although of course, I understand that something is only worth what somebody else is prepared to pay at the time.
Thanks in advance.
Sam

I know of one which changed hands recently for £1600.

Don't discount too much Sam, not the entire world suffered as a result of the global meltdown. Australia came through pretty much unscathed and Super 8 projectors are still bringing good dollars here.

One just sold here in the US for $1700-
The market is definitely soft.

Alan-I think that was one being sold because it was owned by his grand father and he wasn't knowledgeable about it. Had he known more I'm sure it would have went for more.
