Minox LX Edition 2000 black/gold
The Minox LX Edition 2000 black/gold is a special-edition subminiature camera from Minox, the German maker historically associated with 8×11mm format cameras. The LX line was produced as a precision pocket camera, and the Edition 2000 black/gold was issued as a limited finish variant aimed at collectors rather than general users.
Auction data for this specific edition is extremely thin: a single recorded result at a UK saleroom in 2003 hammered at £564, which is the only datapoint available to gauge what one sells for. Because that is a wholesale auction-hammer figure rather than a retail price, and because it is more than two decades old, it should be treated as a historical reference point only when assessing value today in 2026.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Minox LX Edition 2000 black/gold worth?
Public auction evidence is limited to one UK hammer result of £564, so that figure is the only verifiable price reference for what this edition has sold for.
How much does a Minox LX Edition 2000 black/gold sell for at auction?
The only recorded UK auction sale in our data hammered at £564, but with just one datapoint the current market price could vary significantly depending on condition and completeness.
Is the black/gold Edition 2000 a collector item?
Yes — it was issued as a special-edition finish of the Minox LX, which places it in collector territory where originality and accompanying presentation materials drive value.
