What it is

{"overview":"The Tougodooptical Meikai-Ref is a vintage camera that appears only occasionally in the UK collector market. 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.","buying_guide":"With limited sales data and no confirmed service network, inspect any example carefully in person: check the shutter across all speeds, verify the viewfinder and any rangefinder or reflex optics are clear, and look for corrosion, fungus, and dents.

Questions

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.
