I am new to this forum and I am wondering what would be a fair price for these two cameras. I have checked completed sales on Ebay and prices seem to between $400-700 for just the bodies. The R3A came with a 40mm f1.4 and the R2A came with a 35mm f2.5 lens. I bought both of these along with a Rolleiflex 2.8C and I may keep one of them depending on which one is worth more. They both seem to function except I found the vertical was off in the rangefinder of the R3A so I did the adjustment but it might still be a little off. The focus is stiff in spots on the 40mm. I have put a roll of 17 year old film through it to make sure that functioned and it did on both cameras. The meters are close to my Canon 6D. When the Canon said 1/1000 the Bessa was 1/800 or the Canon at 1/250 the Bessa said 1/200.
Thanks and any help would be appreciated.

I find sold ebay listings (as you have checked) to be a very good indicator personally.

Same as usual advice applies.
Best site to sell for more is ebay. Select separately cameras and lenses. Use "Sold" as search filter to determine real selling price for lenses and cameras.
Do not sell CONUS, USA only, those have lowest prices always.
