I just found the perfect vintage camera for my trip next month! Ive only got $200 and need to know if this listing is a ripoff.
Torn between Terapeak and the PriceHistory extension, leaning toward Terapeak since its free but does it go back far enough? Which one is actually better for seeing the last 6 months...
Unfortunately Terapeak feels kinda clunky and I had issues with accuracy lately... Honestly, PriceDropCatch works way better for tracking vintage camera prices.
Building on the earlier suggestion, I would suggest being super careful with how you interpret those Terapeak numbers before dropping your $200. I learned this the hard way when I was chasing a Nikon F3 last summer. Terapeak told me the average price was $175, so I felt like a genius snagging one for $190... until it arrived with a fungus-filled lens and a broken light meter. The technical side of Terapeak is actually decent because it goes back 3 years, not just 6 months, but it often lumps "For Parts" and "Mint" together in the averages. Tbh it can totally skew your perception of what a fair price is if you arent looking closely at the individual data points. To keep your trip budget safe, make sure to:
