Is the Hasselblad 553ELX -body only- worth UK pounds 315 - about 567 us
dollars? 2nd hand, of course, presumably in good condition (no picture
available). Have there been any particular problems with this camera?
Thanks in advance.

The market for used "film"-cameras is almost gone. Hence the low asking
prices.
The advent of the 503 CW, with its detachable (!!!) winder, has lessened the
popularity of the fixed-motor EL(...) series quite a bit, seriously lowering
the amount of money you can expect to get for a used EL(...) too.
The 553 ELX is an excellent camera. No problems at all.
