There's always interest, but it's not worth your trouble to create such a site just to load it down with box Brownies, plastic SLR's and old Polaroids. Good quality collectible cameras will always have a market, but it's hard to find a large enough supply to sustain a regular operation.

Yes, I looked at your website. Most of what you have there is not worth your listing time. The old Polaroids will serve you better if you send them to your local thrift store and take a deduction. They are essentially worththless. The Polavision outfit is slightly collectible, but not for anything like what you are asking for it; the market is very limited. The only other thing you have there that isn't thrift store material is the Konica, which might or might not bring your starting bid. I would avoid point and shoot cameras, modern SLR's (unless you know exactly what you are doing in that market--what to buy and what to leave alone), box cameras unless they are covered in genuine leather or are colored, most anything made in plastic, and any Polaroid that doesn't have a full set of speed and aperture controls on an external shutter. There's more, but those are the most commonly posted loss items on ebay and other sites. If you want to deal in cameras, get a copy of McKeown's Price Guide to Antique and Collectible Cameras. It's expensive, but worth its weight in gold for the information it contains. Just a clue if you do: anything marked "$1-$10" means virtually unsellable. Good luck.
