Do you? If it is brand new in box, and functions perfectly (which is very unlikely, due to the design of the camera), and is not one of the special editions, body only, no prism, I would expect 600 -800 US$ right now.

Re: LX value?
I think the LX2000 was going for 2 grand. They said they were not selling at that price, but then if you wanted one you could not find one to buy. Pentax is good at producing something making it unavailable to the customer then saying it don't sell. If I had a NIB original LX I would not sell it on Ebay but put it up at one of the auction houses like Christie's. Wouldn't fetch $112,100 like that Leica M3 though, didn't someone say Leicas are getting cheaper? -- Garth Corral wrote: What do folks on this list think a brand new, in box, never used LX body would fetch?

Rough guess - about £500 for immediate sale, maybe up to £200 more if you are prepared to hang on and hope the market is not collapsing. mike

Anyway, I asked this about an LX I saw in a shop in Camden, London UK a couple of years back. Brand new in box etc, and they wanted offers over £900 for it. The replies here from people who know, implied that it would be good for a collector for display, but the long term storage element meant it needed a CLA before use. Not that I would put anyone off buying an LX - brilliant camera. Malcolm
