After careful consideration, I have now made my decision.
I will sell most of my cameras and lenses. I am now 72 years old, got a new knee 3 months ago, and I think it is now time to part with many things and go more lightweight. I will keep my Sony NEX7, a Contax G2, and the corresponding Contax G lenses 28mm, 45mm and 90mm.
In the coming days, I will post a list of cameras and lenses here, for example Contax N1, Contax RTS III, Nikon D800 and D700, a lot of Nikon and Leica lenses.
Before these items are offered on the usual platforms, I am offering forum members a fair right of first refusal.

Downsizing is one of those things we have to face.
Last purge was a little over a year ago, and I'm glad I did it.
Gotta be careful with this stuff though- that gear acquisition syndrome can be a sneaky side-mistress at times
Good luck with the sales. I hope you do well, and make at least a percentage back!

Good luck to all! I will probably have some interest when lenses are listed. I'm sure at some point I will have to have a sale too, but not today. |

It is like President Trump. Every day a new or another decision. 
In the meantime I sold the Contax G2 together with the 2/45 lens. The used prices for this cam are actually high here at the German market and both parts were in excellent, like new conditions. So the selling price was ok.
Actually I'm thinking about to buy a used Lumix GX80/85 to own a "better" MFT cam incl. stabilisation in the cam.
