There's a photographer who's selling a used Mark I and I have no previous price knowledge on a used Mark I so I'm having some concern with a price...

I've searched but I see no FS for Mark I....average Mark II has been selling for $1600 - $1700.

Any help on pricing would be appreciated.

I would say it is worth 1100-1300 depending on condition.

Check ebay, cross around 10 sales and a average them,.

Thanks for the tips.

I've already searched eBay and craigslist....nothing on Mark I.

They have one but it's $1,900 Yikes!

Almost $200 to $250 more than a used Mark II (Great to Excellent condition) on here and FM.

I haven't seen any come up FS recently but in the last year or so I've seen several go in the $1100-1200 range. Personally I wouldn't pay more than $1200, the Mark II is available refurbished in the Canon Direct store for $1750.

Great. Thanks for all the tips. I also thought it would be around $1200.

:). I offered $1200 and he declined. Seller's current asking price is $1,350.

I would just pass on then. For another $300 you can get the mark II. Just save and buy Mark II then.

You know, I've been in the market for an 85 LII and I called them thinking maybe it was a typo. Insane. I can almost understand the ridiculous pricing of the 50L mI but not the 85 L mI.

That's assuming you can find one and you get to it before someone else. They seem to sell as quickly as they are listed, at least from what I've been seeing.

I don't know, I saw one go within minutes yesterday for $1600, another one for $1650. New they're going for $2150, refurbs at the Canon store are $1750.

That's very true...I've missed four opportunities within minutes of them going FS.
