Meopta Milox TI-246
The Meopta Milox TI-246 is a camera produced by the Czech optical manufacturer Meopta. It is a scarce model that surfaces only occasionally on the collector market.
Sales data for the Milox TI-246 is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from November 2007 reached £900, which is the only reference point available for what this camera is worth today. With no recent comparable sales, the current market price is difficult to establish, and any value figure should be treated as indicative rather than a reliable guide to what the camera sells for now.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Meopta Milox TI-246 worth?
The only recorded UK auction hammer price is £900 from 2007; with no recent sales, current value cannot be reliably established.
How much does a Meopta Milox TI-246 sell for at auction?
Based on the single available data point, one example sold for £900 at hammer, but this figure is nearly two decades old and may not reflect today's market.
Is the Meopta Milox TI-246 a common camera?
No — it appears very rarely in the auction record, which makes pricing it difficult and means buyers should not expect to find one quickly.
