I had mentioned picking up another 35SP w/ auxiliary lenses, item 3872889981.  

Well, all was not as satisfactory as one might believe.  One of the "not bad 
dents" was a bash to the  top plate near the film wind lever.  Film winds on, 
though with a bit more friction than normal, but the lever does not spring back 
at all, you have to bring it back manually.  Other than that, the camera was in 
good shape, the lens is very clean with only a minor bit of dust internally, 
and even the light seals were in good shape.

The tele/wide set was the tele lens and the finder only.  I might have 
overlooked this, but I was more set on having the wide aux lens than the tele.  

The seller was most cooperative and we worked out a $40 refund without a 
problem, so I am happy.  After testing with some film for exposure accuracy it 
will be off for assessment and, if the wind problem can be fixed, repair and 
CLA.  

At least the auction didn't degenerate into a tug of war.
