J-12 what is it worth?

[lubitel]

Hi Folks,

I am watching this J-12 on ebay, described as Top Cond., silver. 1 hour to go and so far only 26 euros. I want to bid on it but I am not sure how high i should go. What would you say is the limit / or a good price?

thanks

Not much more than that. Even "Top Condition" FSU lenses are still somewhat of a gamble. If it is from a seller who can add: and I have used this lens myself for good results, and provide a sample, better. Few, if any, do that.

So would you say 27 - 30 euros would be the most for this gamble, one could spend?

Thanks brian, If not for you I would have tried to get it and would have paid almost 50 euros. The lens went for 43.
