Dear list,
Thank you for your well-informed advice - it helped me to decide to take
the deal, even if the price landed a bit above your estimate, $1260
dollars to be exact. Lenses should be ex+ with origial metal caps and
leather cases, but I'll have an inspection before the final decision. I'll
come back with a feedback later this week.
Jim - if this becomes real, I have the straight viewer/magnifier set aside
for you ( - in fact, I have another one. Don't think I can persuade myself
to have a backup of that one!).
Kindly,
Svein

The price is high for a package deal, IMO. You're calcluating it by
adding up
the market prices, which will give the seller the best price. IME, a
large
package deal like that should knock off 20-40 0.000000or buying the whole
package.
Otherwise, let him sell it piecmeal.
If you want a specific item, like the 38 macro or the 70 (which are the
most
valuable items, IMO), make him an offer for only those.
Otherwise, your prices sound a little high for the more normal items.

Skip, you're absolutely right... most of my stuff came as 'package deals'
and the sum was much less than what I've later seen individual items sell
for. The individual sale prices were what I was estimating, but I would
expect some discount for the package... were it my potential buy, I'd be
looking to get the whole package for $1100-$1200, probably with the
intention of selling off some of the less interesting bits... which I
somehow never seem to do <g>.
