Found a Hassleblad 500c/m from 1988 MINT CONDITION. Includes 80mm lens, 2 film backs, waist level and prism viewfinder, original leather strap and original boxes and manuals. Should I pull the trigger and but it? Asking price is $2000

Pull the trigger. That camera will never depreciate, so you can always resell.

Do you think $2000 is a good deal or should I try to get a slightly lower price?

It was cheaper months ago, but recently its price has skyrocketed. Some youtubers enabled this trend by pretending to take the film route even if they are completely clumsy about it, see thomas heaton for instance. So now I see these cameras listed for 1,8/1,9k and most of the time they are not even in mint condition. It's a shame.

Taking into account everything included and the condition what would be a fair price to you? Sometimes I hate YouTube and all it’s weird influential abilities

As the other anon said, I believe this camera will never depreciate for a series of reasons. So, given the current market, if it's really in mint condition and you are given all the stuff you listed, take it. I'd have preferred a 501cm, but eh. Maybe try to offer 1800 or 1900 if possible, but I wouldn't hope much. You will be able to resell it in case, and most likely get all the money back.

Take the Lubitelpill, I got one in full working condition with almost no signs of use for 2€ on a flea market recently.

I own two 500 C/Ms and an SWC. Of all my medium format cameras these are the most flexible and dependable while remaining relatively compact in their dimensions.

At that price, ensure it has an acute matte focus screen, and check that the film magazine inserts have matching serial numbers to the backs themselves, to ensure factory caliberated film flatness. This is very important.

Excuse me, 2000? I think it's way too expensive for what you are getting even though prices have inflated because of youtube. I do appreciate it having a waist level viewfinder but I wouldn't pay over 1200,- Unless you are jumping for one in mint condition and don't see a lot of Hasselblads being offered wherever you are I would negotiate for a lower price or wait for a better deal. But hey, that's me.

Buy it, but never use it.

Store it in a safe place and give it about 10 years, it will be worth about 10K.

Film is dead. Medium format is awkward, expensive and no one gives a shit about if you took a picture on your phone or on some "medium format" camera.

>b-buh it's got a big negative so that means...

YAWN.

But it, store it, sell it.

it's average to high. probably worth it if it's new in the box.
I have never paid more than $600 for a 500c/m
