Just to clarify - it was indeed a Derlux and not a Derby-Lux.

...and I don't know why someone would be willing to pay that much for one!

Sorry, should have been Derlux :oops:
The last bidder had a 0 rating on EBay - so no transactions but before that there were also bidders pushing the price up to 1,000 Euro. Amazing.

The camera shown on this page may be a Derlux....or a Derby Lux!
This model from Gallus, when released on the market, was first named Derby-Lux and very soon after this release was renamed Derlux.
The so-called Derby Lux is far more difficult to find than the Derlux
Looking at the front of the device, it is impossible to distinguish the Derlux from the Derby lux.
The name of the camera is indicated on the Depth of field table on the back of the device.

I think the price range listed on Collectiblend is quite accurate http://collectiblend.com/Cameras/Gallus/Derlux.html, my estimate is around 150 US$,
Your serial number seems quite high (at least compared to my camera), so probably a later model (the camera was produced between 1947 and 1952).
You could try selling on Ebay which is the cheapest option. Catawiki http://auction.catawiki.com/photography ... /wednesday is a good option too.
