How much is a Minolta SR-2 worth?

I just stumbled upon my grandfather's attic this week and found probably more than a dozen Minolta SR-2 (Brand new in box). I took one out and it looked pristine and it had no use marks and it even had every manual and leaflet with it. It comes with a 50mm rokkor lens.

(My grandad use to run a camera shop in the late 50s-80s until it closed in 1987)

How much can I sell these each? I plan to keep two, though.

Added (1). I just tested one of them, the shutter works and it advances. The lens has no obvious dusts. The boxes are undamaged since it was inside a larger box

Added (2). Sorry, it isn't a 50 it was a 55mm lens.

Added (3). No. I didn't ask a question about this camera a few weeks ago, in fact this is the first question I asked since I found the cameras

Excellent used 35 mm SLR cameras with standard lenses can be purchased for under $100 on craigslist or eBay.

You could send the whole lot to KEH.com if they want them and they will give you a price for them.

If I had 12, new in the box 35 mm SLR cameras, I would take a sample to your local community college and talk to one of the photography instructors and see if they had any students who needed a 35 mm SLR for their classes.

Check what they're going for on eBay first. Then find a camera collector forum.

A camera of fairly great age (in relative terms) is worth what anybody will pay for it when it is offered for sale. People looking for a practical SLR to use would be looking for a more recent model, so the market would generally be for collectors. Collectors' markets are subject to the whims of fashion.

Indeed Minolta was a good brand, one of the top brands after Nikon and Pentax in the late 1960s/early 1970s. That camera dates from approx the late 1960s.
