A couple of days ago I almost succumbed to a temptation to buy Hasselblad 500C with Sonnar 150 and two backs (12 and A24). The asking price was 900€ (about the same in USD at the current rate). I had a chance to test it. The camera and lens are recently serviced, but still with one issue which I discovered during my testing. The issue is that in mirror lock up mode the shutter leaves remain slightly open (see the photo) making it impossible to use in this mode. Other than that it works flawlessly. When I said this to the seller he dropped the price by 200€, so it is 700€ for the camera with two backs and the lens which is very clean (but with this described issue). What would you do if you were in my shoes?
