"Classic Cameras as Capital Investment"

Most used film cameras now offered at online auctions and used camera markets are not worth enough to bother with any more. In the last years many old cameras have depreciated or just kept up with inflation. Collectors are selling their collections or keeping up hope someday prices will go up again. Is that the general situation?

Not for everyone. eBay currently has more than 20,000 film cameras listed, of which 8,000 are vintage cameras. And a large number of these are sold every day. Many collectors enjoy hunting down the rare collectibles from Agfa, Canon, Kodak, Leitz, Voigtländer, Rolleiflex, Minox, Nikon, Zeiss Ikon and more.

Is that a sound investment, or heading for a loss?

Introducing "Classic Cameras as Capital Investment"

The content focuses on collecting from an investor's point of view.

Part 1 introduces Return On Investment. Apart from the fun collecting can be, is it also enjoyable if you see it as an investment? It seems that a traditional "buy and hold" strategy doesn't lead to high returns of investment.
Part 2 focuses on strategies to improve Return On Investment by combining the online and offline opportunities we have today.
Part 3 shows ways how to implement a classic camera collecting strategy which can lead to high investment returns. Not just theory, but proven tips and tactics are described. The bottom line is to exploit the possibilities we now have to buy low and sell high at a more rapid pace, using worldwide market differences.

I've spent a lot of time year making notes and months writing down the strategies, tips, and tricks that will actually show you how you can get build up your classic camera collection while at the same time getting an above average return on your investments.

Proof This is a real example of applying just one of the strategies. Doing simple research from my desktop in 2004 I found out there were market imperfections for Rollei 35 cameras. At that time you could pick up these terrific little cameras in Germany and sell them for a lot more in the US and Japan.    Bought (incl. shipping)   Sold  Profit a. Rollei 35  $57   $133   $76 b. Rollei 35  $82   $135   $53 c. Rollei 35  $61   $121   $60 d. Rollei 35  $80   $75   $-5 e. Rollei 35 LED  $105   $104   $-1 f. Rollei 35 LED  $37   $132   $95 g. Rollei 35 LED  $46   $126   $80 h. Rollei 35 S  $116  $141  $25 i. Rollei 35 T  $56   $132  $76 j. Rollei 35TE black    $78   $217   $139   Total   $718   $1,316   $598 All 10 transactions were carried out within a 5-month period in 2004. The result: by investing $718 becomes $1,316. An 83% increase of your initial investment in less than half a year. Add the best one or two Rollei 35s to your collection, and you have expanded your collection for free. Even have some money left for further investments. The book also shows how to do this without spending a lot of time.

This seems too good to be true. Is there a catch?

Yes. There is ONE condition that you must agree to before reading: you must agree NOT to disclose the information you will get.

This means you cannot publish my strategies and techniques in any way, including a website, CD-ROM, (e) Book, video, article, etc. Nor are you getting the resale rights for this publication. If you can help your family or friends by personally teaching them what you've learned, that's fine. But don't shoot yourself in the foot by passing on the 'sensitive' information to the wrong people.

Have fun collecting,

Peter Kroezen
