What the thread found

• A low mode cage with three sets of rods for different camera heights in good condition can be valued by checking current listings from dealers specializing in used Steadicam equipment.
• Historical price data from manufacturer lists shows significant price increases over decades, but this reflects inflation and market changes rather than current secondhand value.
• Actual market value is better determined by examining current asking prices from active dealers rather than extrapolating from historical data.

Depends on

• The thread does not establish what price was ultimately agreed upon, only suggests a range of possibilities.
• Historical pricing from the 1980s and 1990s is not a reliable indicator of current secondhand equipment value.
• Only one contemporary dealer listing was referenced without confirmation of whether that item actually sold at that price.
