Polaroid OneStep 600 instant film camera
The OneStep 600 is the boxy grey instant camera with the rainbow stripe that everyone had in the late 1980s, and it sells again because 600 film is still made. A tested, working example with a clean lens is what buyers want. Dead electronics and cracked bodies are close to worthless.
Estimated resale range (used)
$25 – $60
A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it
- Test it with a fresh 600 film pack if you can, since a test shot is the only real proof the shutter and flash work.
- Look through the lens and viewfinder for haze, scratches or fungus.
- Check the film door latch and fire the flash; broken latches and dead flash units are the common faults.
- Note whether the wrist strap and close-up clip are included, as buyers ask for both.
Where the number comes from
Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.
Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
