    Are you sure it is not an FTb? Is this it?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_FTb
    Depending upon the lenses you have it could be worth between $50 and $400. If you list the lenses we will have a better idea.
    Sell it on craigslist then you don’t have to deal with shipping or bad checks

    You probably mean FTb.
    Sadly, not much (depends on it’s condition). I’ve seen them sell for between 20 and 40 dollars on ebay (the ones that sell for more are in good cosmetic and functional condition). The original case (the leather one that is screwed on to the camera) can be worth almost as much as the camera if it’s in good condition and if it includes the top half as well as the bottom half (those are sought after because they are harder to find). I really love those old canon cases - the new ones are ugly. But it’s a matter of luck - there has to be a willing buyer that day.
    If it comes with the original canon 50mm 1.4 S.S.C. (super spectra coated) lens in good condition (meaning there is no oil on the aperture blades and there is no fungus or haze or excessive dust or anything bad in the lens) that would bump up the price. If the lenses are non-canon brand then they won’t do much for the resale value. Also this model uses the old 675 batteries which they don’t make anymore (though they make some replacements either in 1.3 or 1.5 volts. - the former is the intended one).
    Other things that help are the original lens cap and lens hood, and an owners manual.
    I have an FTb and it’s a great camera. Tough, solid workhorse. Doesn’t need a battery (except for the meter). I bought one used and it still takes great photos.

    Hi, Is it an STb or an FTb?
    A good camera in its day but without any distinguishing features so sadly not worth much other than still being capable of giving good photos.
    Prices fetched on ebay for an FTb range from £6 to £39.

    Not much… it would have to be some VERY good lenses to get anywhere near the $400 mentioned above.
    If the lenses are just average, $50 is a lot.
