I had to share.... A friend of mine acquired the equipments at auction from a collector inventory.
I know you guys can imagine how I feel....

[rawhead]

So many Leicas.... Frankly I don't understand. Why would *anyone* want more than one Leica III (or whatever the heck those are)?

I consider myself having a lot of gear (for having only been doing this for less than two years), but I use almost every single one of them extensively. Having that collection certainly won't make me happy (except, of course, the money I'd be making out of selling them

[FernandoB12]

rawhead, I agree with you. There are simple collectors and people who like to shoot and use good equipment.
My friend aquired all the stuuf for make money!

Hi



I'm not amazing........................i'm shocked

[Mal1905]

There's something very beautiful, yet strangely obscene, about seeing all of those bare Leica bodies laid out like that

There's also a potentially enormous amount of money to be made for your friend if: 1. he paid considerably less than 'market value' for this collection, and 2. he knows his target market

The good news for buyers is that considering the law of supply and demand the price of these classic cameras will be going down soon with all these going on the market!

[exaklaus]

Would love to sell that, too!

Hi, I am sorry the dellay in answer, I was out town, with no internet service.

You got my feelings, a mixed of wonderfull and anxiety.

Attila, many of them doesn't work, but meny works like brand new....Now a days I don't have money to spend in equipment. My daugther is studing medicine in a private university, it is very expensive......All my stuff I bought there. Some lenses are very bad, but I got good ones too.
He is selling only in Brazil, he don't know how to sell for other countries and don't speak english. I am trying to help him to find the way. I am not a seller, I am just helpping. As you can see, he does not make a barbecue for a long time.

[exaklaus]

Whole lot of work............
Did that twice when fellow collectors passed away!

[Attila]

Lot of work to sell them , international selling should great. Your friend will have many buyers from here I guess.Try to sell them on this forum too.

[FernandoB12]

Yes Klauss, there are a lot of pleasure work....can you guys feel the smell of old stuff?

[FernandoB12]

Hi Attila, first of all, I have to figure out the right way to receive the money and send the stuff.
There are very interesting equipments....I will let you know when I get the way to sell.

Thank you Attila.

[Spotmatic]

With so many stuff how are you going to determine the asking prices? Interesting task however!

Maybe I'm already too late, but I'm possibly interested in Pentax A* or FA* glass (especially the A*/FA* 85/1.5 and A*/FA* 200/4 macro). Who knows.

[FernandoB12]

Hi spotimatic,

I guess you are late, I'm too. He sold all Pentax stuff before I went his hose first time. I bought all the pentax left, a 50/1.4 and a 55/18.
May be he has medium format lenses, I don't know. I will ask him and let you know.

[Attila]

I did collect and publish prices from Ebay. Hopes it help partially at least.
