I have a complete Visoflex II (I think that it is a II, not a III) kit with right-angle finder, bellows, and lens mount (for the 65mm or 90mm heads).

I want to list it for sale on eBay but I'm not sure what all of this might go for these days.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Don't expect too much for the Viso II. Maybe 75-100$. For the bellows, they don't come up too much, but I would not pay over 150 $ for mint, mount included.But who knows-ebay being what it is -you might strike gold.
 
It is hard to give a firm value- the VisoII is unsuitable for the M6TTL, M7 and M8, so it is worth less than the VisoIII, which I expect to see jump in value the coming year -and this is a VisoII. The bellows, as I said, is not rare, but not up for auction very often, so it might drive up the price quite a bit if you get two or three keen bidders. Yes- I think 250-300 is a ballpark figure. Maybe put a 200$ reserve or a 175 $ first bid on it. Best to sell them together in one lot. But heck- my crystal ball is due for a CLA....

I'm wondering what makes the Viso II unsuitable for the above listed cameras?
I can understand why it wouldn't work for the M8 but the M6TTL and M7 have the same M-mount as the earlier M's. Or is there something I'm missing?

The only difference other than the finder between the Viso II and Viso III is the instant return mirror of the Viso III.
 
The difference is that those camera's are slightly higher. The pentaprism on the VisoII does not clear the top of the camera.The VisoIII pentaprism has a 4mm higher clearance You can use the VisoIIwith the straight magnifier eyepiece however..
