I sold my complete Jobo for silly money and that was years ago. Can’t remember what it cost me, probably £150 or something waaaaay back when film kit was still in regular use.... when I sold it someone paid me around £250-350 plus mental postage cost to send it to them abroad.

2007 to 13 every year I had several retired photog offer up their old gear for free to prevent it ally going in bin.
Had so much, at that time very low value.
I think we are past thr hipster tax time now, kids that are "that" age never had film in the first place.
Guess many are like me, shoot with c41 to need/use a tank, but not so much to get a proper machine or send away in batch big enough to make commercial sense.

Recently discovered a few extra boxes of 35mm cameras and glass, mostly low to mid range stuff (Minolta/Pentax/Olympus, few canon FD) that I had from when I used to buy/sell the stuff.
35mm market calmed down a few years ago, then recently went to clear out some dark room stuff (have way too much stuff, cleared most of it from colleges getting rid of their analogue gear) and discovered that some items are now commanding mental money. Jobo home colour processor (a heated tank with a basic motor and timer on it) are £200+ for ones with bits missing! I must have thrown away 20 of those between 2008 and 2013 as literally no one wanted any of them.
Film scanners, don't have flextite money, looking at another Epson flatbed, V850 I think is the latest good vs. value machine, any other options under a grand new? Not interested in a 20 year old Nikon thats about to crap the bed at any minute, had two of those already haha.
