Prices from outside the UK include about 20% import VAT. Over £135 the courier may add a handling fee, and customs duty can apply. Work out the full cost with the import cost calculator.
A * after the working status means it comes from the seller's description, not the title.
Before you buy a used 500C
- Same checks as the 500C/M. The screen isn't easily swapped on a 500C.
- Check the film back: light seals, frame spacing and that the dark slide is included.
- Check the shutter at every speed and the lens for haze or fungus.
- Pay through eBay. eBay's Money Back Guarantee covers a camera that doesn't work as described, but only if you pay through eBay. Our used film camera checklist has the tests to do the day it arrives.
Battery: None needed. The shutter works without one. Battery finder →
Questions buyers ask
How much is a used 500C worth?
On eBay UK today a working not stated, with lens Hasselblad 500C typically costs £1,808 delivered, with most between £1,624 and £2,033. A tested body on its own is about £767. These are asking prices, so many sell for a little less, especially with Best Offer.
Is it cheaper to buy a 500C from Japan?
7 of the 27 Hasselblad 500C listings on eBay UK right now are posted from Japan. Japanese dealers grade cosmetic condition carefully ("Near Mint", "Exc+5"), but you pay import VAT and sometimes a courier fee, and returns take longer. All the prices on this page already include the VAT estimate.
What battery does the 500C take?
None needed. The shutter works without a battery; it only powers the meter.
What should I check before buying a used 500C?
Same checks as the 500C/M. The screen isn't easily swapped on a 500C. Check the film back: light seals, frame spacing and that the dark slide is included.
Are these sold prices?
No, they're asking prices from live eBay listings, refreshed daily. We record the daily typical price, so the history chart shows how asking prices move.
