What it is

{"overview":"The Kunik Petie Vanity is a subminiature novelty camera built into a small leather-clad cosmetic case, with the body finished in black. Subminiature vanity cameras like this tend to be highly condition-sensitive at saleroom level, with completeness of the case, mirror, powder compartment and original presentation strongly affecting what an example sells for. On that basis a clean, complete black-leather Petie Vanity could reasonably be worth a figure in the same general region, but buyers should treat any single comparable as indicative rather than definitive.","buying_guide":"Inspect the leather covering for lifting, cracking and ingrained makeup residue, and check that the internal mirror, powder well and lipstick holder are present and intact, as missing fittings sharply reduce value.

Questions

Why does the price vary so much on vanity cameras like this?

Value is driven almost entirely by completeness and cosmetic condition: examples retaining the original mirror, powder and lipstick fittings and unmarked leather command the strongest prices, while stripped or scuffed cases sell for a fraction of that.
