I have an Beseler 23 C II enlarger and Dual Dichro Colorhead,also an pm2a
analyzer
These items have never been used still have box for them,I purchased them in
1987 never got into it,put them away in closet and I doubt I'll ever use
them.
I am clueless on their value,can anyone on this newsgroup tell me what is
the current value of these items,or a site that I might look up.I think I
might have lenses for the enlarger.Taking into consideration that these
items have never been used.
I'm not trying to sell them on here,I'm just looking for information as I
have been out of the photo scene for a long time.

RIGHT. Try Ebay or call a photo dealer for the current price.

Very hard to say; it depends on finding the right buyer. Looking on
eBay, Dichro 23C II's have gone as high as $180.00; but most of them
get no bids, even those offered at $99. The only PM2a listed got a
maximum bid of $20.

I've found ebay prices a very good barometer for what things will go
for at used camera shows.

If the items are truly unused, (and look it) and you have the original
boxes and packing materials - perhaps $200 would be a good, optimistic
price. But most people won't buy it at all.

If you want to dispose of them, a donation to a local school with a
darkroom might be appreciated. You can then take a tax deduction which
might be worth almost as much as you would get by selling.

I saw a 23-C Condensor enlarger setting the floor of Calumet here in NY with a
price tag of $600. JUst the enlarger and head.

It's all in the marketing and location, location, location. Good luck.

That is why it was sitting there. Midwest Photo here in Columbus, OH stopped
getting Omega D5 because their selling, meanwhile they're having trouble
keeping the Epson's like 7600 in stock. It a great time to buy medium and
large format equipment but a very bad time to sell.
The part I have trouble with is people can't tell my inkjet prints from my
silver prints, that is discouraging.
