Reply:impossible to say without seeing it, your definition of mint isn't usually the same as the person buying it.



The 2nd hand film market is pretty slow, I've seen dealers selling working but used examples of this model for as little as ￡70, and that is with a guarantee. I doubt you'd get much as a trade in, if you can find a shop that will accept trade in film gear, maybe ￡30-￡40.



Privately I wouldn't expect much more than ￡100, even for an absolutely mint never used example.



These cameras are pretty old now, up to 16 years old for the first models, and they are pretty complex (fast shutter, eye control focus, various meter options and custom functions etc) so if anything was wrong with it, a repair would probably be more than the camera is worth.



The most common component to go on any camera is the shutter, on your camera it would be around ￡120 to have a new shutter fitted and tested.



A common fault with the EOS five was the control dial failing, as I recall you can;t even get replacement parts for this now.



Don't be too despondant, if it's a working model then I would hang onto it and use it along side canons EOS digital SLR system (your EF lenses will work on all canon DSLR's, albeit with a conversion factor on sme budget models)



I used one of these for about three years at the start of the decade and it gave me fantastic shots and left me missing very little feature wise from the dropped EOS1n it replaced.



Besides you never know when you might take the urge to return to real photography and run a roll of velvia or reala through it ;o)
