Minox AX
The Minox AX is a subminiature camera from Minox, the German maker known for its 8×11mm spy-format cameras. It sits within Minox's small-format line rather than the brand's 35mm range.
Sales history for the AX is thin: two UK auction hammer results, at £500 and £600, giving a median around £550 in today's market. With so few data points, the price a Minox AX sells for at saleroom level can move noticeably with condition and completeness of accessories.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.
