How much is a Ikelite S2 housing worth
-
-
Well, in a used housing market, the housing is worth whatever someone will pay for it...:-)
With that said, a good place to start is to pick a percentage of the NEW housing price and charge that. That percentage will depend on demand, and the condition of your housing.

The housing is in A1 condition. I shall probabley look for about 50% - 60% of new cost

Hello,
A friend of mine picked up an Ikelite S2 housing and flat port on E-bay for $500.00 with "buy it now". I thought they could have gotten much more. I think, if you go E-bay, it's worth listing it high and risk losing a few bucks. If it doesn't sell, you can always relist it.
IMHO

List it low with a high reserve price. It seems like the bidding frenzy gets the best of some people. Especially after Fri afternoon cocktails. I will be interested to see the outcome since I intend to sell mine after my Feb trip.

Well I paid USD1000 for the housing, 2 dome, 2 flats, syn cords and some arms. Bought from a fellow wetpixelian with the help from JamesW. I am happy with he price I paid, so yeah, whatever the buyer is willing to pay.

Glad I could help put you guys together.

Ikelite exchanges for the new aluminum back housing for $900............

Thanks Ike, but i am finding the housing just too bulky and i prefer the viewer position of the Aquatica. Ideally i would buy a Seacam housing with the S45 viewer but money is just too limited.
But a consolation Ike is that i shall be getting rid of my DS50 and SB102 strobes and getting a pair of DS125.

Mr. Fish
