Not particularly rare on US *Bay. Last year I bought 2 black OM-1ns. I
got one for $100 that looks pretty good and with everything working
except the 2 slowest speeds are obviously too slow. The other is
virtually unmarked except for a few subtle marks in, but not through,
the paint on the bottom. It is fully functional and cost me $200. It
does take some care and patience to get a good price on a good camera.
An apparently mint one was bid up to over $700 a few days ago and didn't
meet the reserve, but that's collector craziness.
Another thing to try if you have time and patience is to buy one that
has recently had a CLA. The auction prices for these never seem to
reflect all of the cost of a CLA in addition to the basic condition of
the camera. That could take a while, I've picked up OM-1s that way, but
not an OM-1n.

I know those are kinda rare so what would be a reasonable price to pay for a
black OM-1n (EX to BGN)?
Just in case one comes across ;-)
