Cool kids and hipsters have discovered film photography. There is at least $100 there, maybe much more.

that flash is very popular, especially with those older cameras without a hot shoe, it has a PC cord built in. I have one and it works good on my SRT101, FTQL and Miranda F
worth around $50 if it works and the battery compartment is clean. |

Probably a good bit more,... it's a niche market but it's expanding rapidly. The hipster kids would probably pay a premium for an original film camera rather than something more recent or a replica. |

Where is a good place to offer it?
The only place I've ever sold anything online is the EE |

BUT I would suggest joining a few of the "vintage camera" groups on facebook,... there are a bunch with 10s of thousands of members. You should be able to get an idea of what it's worth before you even put it up for sale. |

Honestly its not worth my time to investigate to far (I don't even facebook) If I can get the price of shipping and cover my time going to the UPS store I'd just be happy that some nice stuff wasn't being thrown away. |

I’d be happy to cover shipping plus some Pmags/money for you time. I’d use the lenses at the very least, I have couple of old Pentax bodies they fit. Your camera body is an ES which was their first electronic model, I don’t know much about them other than that. It’s definitely cool though. |
