I'll give you $100 no questions asked.
Check eBay for the individual Completed Listings, it gives a very good idea of how much your set is worth in total. |

Not such a good idea to sell as a lot. You will almost certainly get a better price pieced out.
Best way to estimate market prices is to do an advanced search on eBay for completed sales of each.
Yes its tedious but that's the best information you can get.

You are likely to get better price by selling them as individual pieces instead of a set which limits the pool of potential buyers. I also recommend check your local ebay "sold" prices for each piece and decide how to list them. Manual lenses are hit and miss on ebay and you may consider listing them as "buy now" auctions instead bidding auctions.

Yep, do a search on e-bay. Be realistic about prices - if someone is able to sell Zuiko 180 for $500+ does not mean you'll be able too. Subtract 15% for e-bay overhead. If you insist on selling as a lot you'll probably take a hit on price.
PS. I have a price in mind I'd pay for this kit sight unseen. But I bet you would not like it. |

Just coming out of my mind:
-Olympus OM1 - 0 - 20€
-Zuiko 2/28mm - 260€
-Zuiko 3,5/28mm - 30€
-Zuiko 1,8/50mm - 20€
-Zuiko 3,5/50mm macro - 70€
-Zuiko 2,8/100mm - 80€
-Zuiko 2,8/180mm - 190€
-Zuiko 3,6/35-70mm - 40€
As a lot you can get 60-80% of the total value. I would recommend you to sell the 28 f2 and the 180 f2.8 separately, but then your lot becomes less interesting.

+1 on piecing it out. You didn't buy as a lot did you? Take some of the same time you spent collecting these to sell them and you will be rewarded.
