Contax motherload...

Once you start adding it all up, taking into consideration all the packaging/boxes included and the rarity of some of those items, the BIN price may not be that far off a fair amount. One might even be able to squeeze a little more selling pieces separately, which this guy might have to wind up doing.

Chances are, the body will require a completely strip down and overhaul before it would work 100% properly, noting the carefully worded statements around the mechanical condition. Of course, this is also more a collector than user-driven setup in terms of where the prices might go. He possibly could have chosen a lower starting bid with no "Buy it Now" option, a reserve and done better.

Set ups like this don't come around very often.
 
Yeah, quite the collection. How long would it take to amass all that, and for how much?

I'm going to clean the drool off my keyboard now.

this is what happens when you don't use your camera much and still have the original boxes to store then...some 61 years later, some guy with blue gloves will sell them for a nice rounded number.
 
The 21mm f4.5 Biogon I use on my IIA would go well with that collection. Kinda surprised, as comprehensive as that set is, it didn't include one.
