$24 doesn't seem that low considering how limited brownies are. For that money you should be able to find a basic MF folding camera that'll give you a lot more control over your picture and fits nicely in your pocket(edit: well, coat pocket).

Yes, but at this point, the Brownie is a cultural icon and a working camera. $24 is pretty OK for that.
Props to the FPP for selling film adapters https://filmphotographystore.com/collections/film-related-ac...
Waiting for a MF digital sensor that uploads the pic to a smarthphone. That would be instagramming in style.

I don't thinks its value is in it's picture-taking capabilities which are quite crude by modern standards. Any value it may have is based upon it collectability and rareness. Based on that valuation, it doesn't seem to be either collectable nor rare. In that case, its probably more of a nostalgia item.
