Both methods previously recommended will help you determine current
value,
but not necessarily accurately, as condition is paramount and eBay can't
hold
a candle to KEH in determining condition in my experience. eBay has a
greater
fluctuation in prices due to the nature of auctions, while KEH is the
industry standard in grading of used items. I have personally received
some
C330 items from auctions that would not have even passed KEH grading, so
for
that reason I recommend KEH. I am not an agent of either KEH or eBay, just
sharing my experiences.
As for the "Sports Finder" you mention, I believe you are mistaken in
the
nomenclature. The "Sports Finder" is built into the waist level finder
hood.
I believe you may be referring to the Porrofinder which as I understand it
uses mirrors to orient the image in the viewfinder correctly. My Prism
Finder
image orientation is upright but still backwards right to left when
reading
the data off the focusing screen. Hope this helps.
