Prices in the Wiki

When taking a look at the prices for used devices, you should also take a look at the timestamps:

  • The prices for Single8-cameras dropped significantly in 2007-2009 after Fuji announced to axe its Fujichrome RT200N/R25N by 2010/2012.
  • The prices for Super8-cameras dropped when Kodak axed the Kodachrome 40 in 2005 and dropped significantly when Kodak axed the Ektachrome 100D by the end of 2012.
  • Since then the prices for splicers, editors, ... also dropped a little bit. However the prices for the "top of the line"-projectors remained stable.
  • Some prices heavily depend on your location on this planet: E.g. cameras made in the USSR and Czechoslovakia are pretty common in the former Comecon-countries (including the now re-united Germany), while they're pretty rare in the USA and Canada. There are also some Italian or Japanese devices that are nearly unknown in elsewhere. Hence sometimes it's much cheaper to buy devices from a seller on another continent than from one in your own country (despite the shipping costs).

Update: Other formats

Important update: The Super 8 Wiki now contains equipment and information about other formats (i.e. Single8, 16mm, ...) as well, so please check the equipments' categories twice before buying non-super8-devices by mistake.
