Go to live.com and search "Hasselblad SWC" and click on the eBay link at the top in the results page. As long as you get into eBay from live.com it doesn't actually matter where you go from there; as long as you have the same browser session open you can conduct other searches and still qualify for cash back. In this case it will be the maximum amount, $200 back.
Selling my Hasselblad SWC/M kit. Included is the following:
Hasselblad SWC/M with Zeiss Biogon 38mm f/4.5 and viewfinder
A12 back (black) with dark slide
Magnifier hood
Focusing screen adapter for magnifier hood
Camera is in excellent condition with little signs of wear. There are a couple of small scratches here and there but nothing deeper than the paint finish. Lens is clean with no marks, scratches, haze, or fungus. Shutter speeds sound accurate and photos come out properly exposed. Film advance is even and smooth. External viewfinder has some paint wear, particularly along the edges. However, the view is clear.
The back was purchased separately and shows a good amount of wear on the finish. However, functionally it is perfectly smooth, with no leaks.
The magnifier hood has some letters prominently written on it by the previous owner.
EDIT: I've removed the markings from the magnifier hood. They came off pretty easily. I'd take a new picture of it but my digital camera is out on loan until next week.
The focusing screen has some scratches on it but nothing serious enough to affect usage.
Date code on camera indicates that it was manufactured in 1971, and the back in 1978.
This is the SWC/M, which can take Polaroid backs.
Asking price is $2500 and I will pay the PayPal fees AND ship for free within the 48 states. I'm not entirely sure if this is a fair price but they do seem to be going for $4,000+ on eBay. But of course, eBay is eBay. Most of the cameras listed on eBay are in similar condition to mine but come with accessories in better condition. Also, some of them have the newer lens with the T* coating, which this one does not. I am selling the camera because I've come to realize that I don't really like the 6x6 format...
I will consider all offers. If you feel my price is significantly high, please present me with relevant market data and I will gladly reconsider my asking price.
