I have an old German Ikoflex camera just wondering if anyone knows how much these could possibly be worth? I've checked out Ebay and see theyare going for sometimes around a hundred dollars. So if anyone could help me out and tell me if there is any value to this camera that would be great. I don't know if it works or not.

As You say, they can go for over $100-$150 in good condition, It's important for it to have a fast and Quality lens on it though to reach a good price, like an f2.8 or 3.5 Carl Zeiss Tessar.

It says tessar f-75 mm I don't know if that is good or bad but this camera even has the flash that plugs in separately.

Tessars are arguably the best four element lenses ever to come out of Germany.
I think You should get a good price for the camera if the condition is right.
Thank You for the best response and good luck.

I remember the Ikoflex...haven't seen one since the late 50s and I am surprised they still bring so high a price. As a TLR it was always a second best choice to a Rollei. Zeis Ikon have always made quality cameras with top glass, but if you can still get $100 for it I think you should take it, if you need the cash... but I reckon it is probably the sort of thing that is more valuable as a talking point on your mantle piece.
