Tougodo Optical Meikai-Ref

The Tougodooptical Meikai-Ref is a vintage camera that appears only occasionally in the UK collector market. Public reference material on this specific model is limited, so detailed specification claims cannot be made with confidence.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Meikai-Ref have been thin on the ground: a 2024 sale reached £150, while an earlier 2009 result was £800, giving a wholesale saleroom range of roughly £150–£800 across the two verified hammer results. With so few data points, today's value for any given example is heavily condition-dependent, and a single additional sale could shift the picture materially, so sellers asking what the camera is worth or what it sells for should treat these figures as indicative rather than settled.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Tougodooptical Meikai-Ref sell for at UK auction?

The two verified UK hammer results on record are £150 in 2024 and £800 in 2009, so recent wholesale pricing sits at the lower end of that range.

What is a Meikai-Ref worth today?

Based on the limited auction history, a fair value in 2026 is difficult to pin down precisely, but condition-led examples have changed hands between roughly £150 and £800 at the hammer.

Why is the price range so wide?

With only two recorded sales spread over fifteen years, the price reflects individual condition, completeness and bidder interest on the day rather than an established market level.
