What it is

With so few data points, the price a Bobette I sells for in 2026 is highly sensitive to cosmetic condition, shutter function and completeness of the lens and bed assembly.","buying_guide":"Inspect the folding struts and bed for straightness, as bent struts are the most common fault on small strut-folders of this era and are difficult to repair.
