No Kiev in there? I'm disappointed. Then I'm not buying the whole lot.

Hmmm well I really want a Contax I, II, III (all unmetered), but maybe the guy found a good kiev to use, and thats why it's not being sold with the rest!

Thanks for the offer. This would be one of those where I'd try the CLA myself, first, and if I end up with everything in pieces everywhere without being able to put it all back together, I'll just send it your way :angel:

My theory is, his wife told him to sell all that junk on ebay. His response is that he keeps trying, but no one will buy it.

so what's the retail value on this glorious junk? if enough, I suppose you could go into business....

If it was a good deal to buy it and sell it on, a dealer would have done so by now.

No kidding.... I did not realize the guy had posted it before. But if it really has the value, that much should be enough to open up a small store and sell each item individually.....
If anyone actually had that much stuff, where would you keep it... probably need a whole room in the house just for the photo equipment

Just glancing through it quickly, there is no single spectacular or exotic item. It seems to me that wholesale for that mess would be under $20,000 ... perhaps well under. It would be tough to break even reselling it piece by piece.
