This is a user condition Nikon F2 with a later "DP-1" Photomic meter. It is "Pre-AI" series, the 50mm F1.4 lens can be used with older cameras, and can be used with mirrorless cameras. The film is long-expired. It's worth $100~$125 or so.
 
You are trying to sell it as is or for parts. Since you have no clue if it is functioning.
Go to eBay, enter lens, viewfinder and camera. Select "Sold" and only sold.
Look for listings with as is. This will show you the real price.
Not someone imagination.
 
Last time I was interested in buying one (pre-pandemic), kit like that would sell around £350 to £450 depending on condition and extras.

I am looking online now and they seem to sell around £200 to £300 depending on condition. I would say £200 to £250 is a good price to ask.
 
I should put a couple of my Nikon F2's up for sale, if they are going for that much. I lost count after 12.

There is a huge difference in prices for a near mint camera, and one that is dented, untested, and missing the self-timer lever.

These cost me less than the prices cited above.DSC00003.JPGDSC00006.JPG

One of the first 43~86/3.5 made, on one of the first Nikon F2 bodies made. I picked up two from the pre-production batch at a camera show, $200 for the pair.

Check the ebay prices just for VF on this one.
The salesman at my favorite camera store threw it in for free...

Near mint, like mine- ~$400.

And a "Beater", went for $80 or so.

wow 😍
 
There also appears to be rust on the flash contact. I would be concerned about moisture damage. Might be better to have it checked out by someone who knows these cameras before putting it up for sale.

Best,
