Live listings, shown by eBay
Opens eBay in a new tab. Check condition, seller feedback and returns.
Film is a running cost
An instant camera is only useful with film in it, and film differs by format. Look at whether a listing includes a pack, and whether it is the right type. An unopened pack from a reliable seller is better than an unknown stock, since instant film is sensitive to heat and age. Check the expiry date on the box if it is shown.
Checking a listing
Choose condition new, a sealed box and a seller with clear returns. Read the model name against the maker’s page, because the Now has several versions. Look for what is in the box: a charging cable, a strap and any film.
