Each group has its own typical price, so an untested body is never compared with a tested camera and lens. Collector editions (black paint, titanium, limited runs) are shown but left out of the averages.

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 501C & 501CM
- Same checks as the 500C/M: lens and body in sync, back seals, dark slide.
- 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 501C & 501CM worth?
On eBay UK today a tested / working, with lens Hasselblad 501C & 501CM typically costs £2,947 delivered, with most between £2,810 and £3,091. These are asking prices, so many sell for a little less, especially with Best Offer.
Is it cheaper to buy a 501C & 501CM from Japan?
8 of the 23 Hasselblad 501C & 501CM listings on eBay UK right now are posted from Japan. The cheapest tested one from Japan is £1,263 including about 20% import VAT, against £2,199 for the cheapest tested one from a UK seller. 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 501C & 501CM take?
None needed. The shutter works without a battery; it only powers the meter.
Is a tested 501C & 501CM worth paying more for?
Right now tested examples are listed at about £573 (16%) less than ones where the seller doesn't say. A film-tested camera is the safest buy: an untested one can need a service costing £60 to £150.
What should I check before buying a used 501C & 501CM?
Same checks as the 500C/M: lens and body in sync, back seals, dark slide. 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.
