i asked a similar question a while back but with an SLR that was not as old (canon eos). https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2088549
it might be worth selling the lens and body seperately. even the neck strap and filters can be sold seperately. my SLR was going for £10-30 on eBay but just one of the lenses sold for £68!Snootchie Bootchies!0 -
The problem is what you think it is worth is not what other people think. Nobody buys film cameras these days (unless they're particularly amazing models). The only thing I can suggest is seeing if you can find some college students to sell to, some places probably still require them to do film and darkroom work.0

There are some specialist dealers out there. There is also a still a great interest in Film photography. I still have an Old Canon and Ricoh SLR i use frequently along with my DSLR
Your best chance is to find any local clubs etc that specialise in film photography they may be able to point you to local dealers.0 -
They still use film cameras as part of the photography A level & Post-Grad courses at college. If you have a sixth form college or adult learning centre near to you, why not advertise it on their notice board in the relevant department?.Never Knowingly Understood.
