They said to make an offer, think they'd take $100 ?

You'll know when you make the offer. Which model? Fuji made a zillion medium format cameras.

FOUR???????????????

4 Fuji 6x7 Professional GW670 III cameras VERY GOOD condition (These are very expensive cameras)

You do know that it is a rangefinder camera?

I know, I feel nostalgic shooting rangefinders, my first camera was a yashica electro 35. I've been wanting to get into medium format for a long time but this way seems a little too rich for my blood

Hey, make them your offer. You won't a better camera anywhere for $100. Or $200 for that matter.

Lies, I got my Sinar 4x5 for under $200.

Geez, such a deal if they'd take $100. Almost as good a deal as I got on my Bronica ETRSi with two backs, 75/2.8 and prism (for $132). Still, that Fuji is a helluva camera and if I had the spare ducats, I'd spring for one myself. I'm a pretty big fan of Fujinon lenses.

Ready to Rock & Roll with lens, holders, etc.?

Proof that there are deals out there.

I double the admiration for Fujinon lenses. I own two for 4x5 & I love them both!

Update Re: craigslist asking prices.

It has been my experience that many craigslist users have either an outdated or clueless idea of what their merchandise is worth. If you do your homework (finished ebay sales, KEH prices, prices here at TPF or other forums, etc.) and educate a craigslist seller about actual market value today, they will probably come around. If not, walk. Perhaps leave a phone number in case they get a clue and realize that your offer was realistic.

Any word on this?
