Think that there might be a good deal in this... buy and resell what you don't need. Any comments?

Boy that's a great lot! It would be a good deal certainly, if those items prove to be in reasonable condition. But it would need the $$$$ he is asking for it.
How about a RFF Joint Contax Acquisition Mission?
The items are really interesting.

Why don't we have a poll of people who would want in on the lot, what they would want, and how much they would be willing to pay for it. If we get enough $ together, why not buy it?!

That's what i intended to suggest above. However, after some thought, i am afraid a serious issue would rise as to who pays how much. Some of the items are relatively scarce and it's difficult to settle a good price for them while other ones are more common such as the body and 50/1.5... Also, it's not clear so far, what works and what needs service, and how the cosmetic condition is.
The best bet would be if sbody from the seller's region would check it out thoroughly and pick the whole lot up and pay, and then we could buy the separate items from him on a friendly price discussed prior to the acquisition of the lot.
I myself would be interested in the 50/1.5 sonnar and in some minor accessories as cap, etc. Further, one of the IIa bodies and maybe the 85mm nikkor /21mm biogon would be great too, although i'm afraid of how much they would cost me...
Another solution: We can friendly ask an independent rff member to estimate a reasonable price for each bigger item, like say, Honu-Hugger or Brian Sweeney who have so many contax stuff that they got shoppin' experience but they'd certainly not be interested in any of these

RFF member Akalai has been eager for a 21mm f/4.5 Biogon, so perhaps he'd join in on the feeding frenzy.

...yes I think the 21mm Biogon is the "Jewel in the Crown" and likely the one thing everyone would want from this package, including me!
However there are some other rather interesting bits in there.... especially some of the Nikkor stuff... sadly its too rich for me.
I'll get you yet BIOGON!!! (...got to be a line from Transformers!)
