Or...
"All your Zorki are belong to...http://cgi.ebay.com/Old-Cameras-/250798974440?pt=Film_Cameras&hash=item3a64c8a5e8 " 😀

It is going to be a rather big box you'd get, though.

Or, if you're in the EU and have an extra tractor he'll trade, apparently.

And, considering where it's shipping from, I might want to have some garlic and holy water handy when opening the package...😀

Kidding aside, it doesn't seem like the worst offer I've ever seen if one were willing to re-sell most of the pile a piece at a time.

Instant camera collection or what? It would make sense to sell individually but maybe he can't be bothered...

i always think when I see ads like this that there was a conversation between the seller and their significant other along the lines of:
"Get these old cameras out of my house!"
"Yes, dear. I'll sell them as quick as I can."
Time passes...
"Why are these cameras still here?"
"Dunno. I tried to sell them but no one is interested. Guess I'll have to keep them."

I agree with Rob
This reminds me of my friend Vlad, a Russian camera collector.
This collection is minor to what my friend has/had.
Vlad is a wheeler-dealer- outside of his apartment was a big 6 wheel drive Soviet truck with flat tires. His 2 room apartment was filled with camera equipment. there were cameras in the fridge! This was one of several apartments.
He had traded an apartment for a Linhof camera with lenses! (which he in turn could not sell.
( He has both the Rolleiflex wide angle and telephoto cameras)
There is also the apartment that his wife lives in. (not to mention the garage storage room he has in the basement of some large Soviet period apartment building filled with all sorts of goodies)
In addition he has hundreds of cameras, lenses and small goodies.
I bought a new in the box Krab underwater housing for a Leningrad from him
He also did simple/minor repairs for me.-
In addition he had hundreds of Soviet watches mounted on their display boards.
These guys collected cameras long before we heard of cameras from the FSU!
