First, I promise to list this in the RFF classifieds so this is not an attempt at a free ad. E-bay prices are all over the place these days. I've got this nice Contax ll kit that needs a new home to be used as it should. (This is my attempt to reduce hoarding and to simplify.) I'd like this to sell quickly, but don't want to give it away either. So what's a fair price for this:

Contax ll -cla'ed about 3 years ago including new ribbons, very good condition, shutter sounds accurate at all speeds, serial numbers match (back and body) and starts with a K.

5cm f2 red T Carl Zeiss Jenna, aluminum barrel, nice glass

3.5cm f2.8 Jupiter 12, great deep purple coating, rear cap, front cap (Zeiss) with 35mm Russian external finder

8.5cm f2 Jupiter 9, multi colour coatings, some marks on front element, rear cap, lens hood

Hi Frank,
Is this the one that was CLA'd by Harry Scherer?

Good luck with your sale.
 
$500-$600 sounds like a fair price. Figure this much for the kit:

$250-$300 Working Contax II body
$100-$150 Decent 50mm f2.0 Sonnar
$50-$75 Jupiter-12 w/ finder/caps
$50-$75 Jupiter 9 w/ caps/hood
 
I agree with the estimate. In addition to the functionality, a lot depends on the cosmetic condition of the camera and lenses and the reputation of the seller [which is great].

$550-$600 is my estimate unless the equipment is extra nice looking.
