Camera values going strange?

Just some days ago a Smena-5 with hood, box and cap ended for only 62 USD.
A working, boxed Zenit APK was unsold for 40 USD.
Neither of these had unrealistic shipping costs.
In my opinion both bargains, or are values going down? Or vacation time and economy still bad?

Best regards,

Hi Juhani,

The recent values of regular cameras are going down in my opinion. The most of camera collectors have rechecked theirs priorities and don't want to pay more for rare, but easy to buy cameras. These few russian collectors we known have increased soviet camera prices in the last 2 years, now they are looking for ultra rare items only. In general, I can see some parallels with Real Estate prices indeed ... [:)]

Not beeing a camera dealer I enjoy this situation a lot [:)].

Best Regards,
Aidas
