true north strong & free
a good friend has a very sick dog who needs expensive treatment.

i feel frustrated at not being able to help out but i need to do something.
i am a dog owner and cannot imagine going through this.

my friend is very handy and customized 2 cameras for me, you can see them below. i think they look great and have posted pics of them before. i especially love the 'stealth' oly rc.

i want to auction them off here, they will go to the highest bidder. i know we have a new classified section but i think this is a special situation.

greyhounds lead a very hard life and our friend offers them a last and loving home.

if you are looking for a 'something different' kind of camera, either of these 2 should fit that bill.

bids accepted on each camera separately. i would prefer to keep the bidding on the board and not in a p.m., just to keep it simple.
the auction will end on sunday night at 6 p.m., my time.

if this offends anyone or should you think this is inappropriate, i extend my sincerest regrets.

many thanks for your generosity,
joe

Wish I was in a postion to bid, joe. This is a good thing you're doing for both of them.

Joe,
Just a thought. Would your friend be interested in providing the customizing services to those of us who are challenged in that way. A certain price about cost or something like that? I decreased the value of a Zorkii 6 by my efforts, so it is something I would consider. My daughter is a part of the boxer rescue project in Dallas and the inhumanity she has seen makes one doubt the civility of man or at least some people.
 
I wish my job situation would allow me to contribute to this auction. I can however give this thread a little *bump*.

My best thoughts and encouragements for your friend and his endeavour, Joe. It's a noble one. Although I've newer "typed to him personally", I've been always impressed by his knowledge and generosity.
 
If only I could afford to contribute. good luck with this and I hope the cameras go for a high price!

currently, he is taking a break from camera work in general, due to his own health issues.
 
Hi Joe,
Sorry to jump on your thread. I really don't need another fixed lens RF at the moment so - About a month ago, I made a post explaining that I had been donated a 35RC by another RFF member in need of a repair which has been done. I didn't think it right to sell it and was asking if anyone knew of a good cause for it. I think I have just found that cause! With Joe's permission, I will throw an "unstealth" 35RC into the auction. At the moment it is $120 for the stealth one, let's see if we can match that. I will cover any shipping costs.

Lamp lit !

Results that another (well known 😉) and way too kind RFF member once long ago sent me a beautiful non-stealth Minolta Hi-matic 7s.

The camera is in cosmetic tip top condition, and working perfectly except for the meter, which is completely dead. BUT with some practice on sunny 16 or with a hand held meter this is a true jewel to use. And one of the sharpest lenses I've seen.

It also comes with the right and very nice Minolta camera case and strap.

No auction is complete without a Minolta Hi-matic 7s. Don't leave the Rokkor company in bad place please !

Again, I'll cover shipment to anywhere in the world.

Oscar, I want that 7s! When's the auction closing for this one (I think it may be a good idea to auction all cameras separately, that way they'll get more bids and more attention each), I need to scrape some money together because I can't say right now what I can give... Cheers!
 
Would you accept paypal?

Would you accept paypal?

Joe,

I need another camera like I need a hole in my head, but every so often when I'm flush I don't mind sending $10 or $20 to someone who NEEDS it. Let me know if you have alternate fund raising channels. (post, e-mail, PM, whichever you prefer.)
 
Ey !

Joe I just think what comes along goes along, and I really can't see a better reason to pass on with the generosity others have shown with me (you in this specific case!)

Since I have a too crowded closet this could grow even more 🙂

To put it in a time I can control, how's about closing the Hi-matic 7s auction at Sunday at 21 (GMT +1 hour) ?
