I think 'Poster' refers to the decorated case. (something I've seen with other models)
It would be extremely expensive for just a print of thing Smile

I know some one who used leather rather than tapestry on old cameras.

After scrutinous look it seems flowers quickly painted on original clothing. Well it is not cheap even as real camera, missing parts and most probably faulty in every way possible Smile.

The few Agfa cameras I've grabbed were all under £5, but seemed to be basically working (probably pinholes in the bellows & in need of cleaning...) To be honest I think I'd prefer my £3 'Billy Record' to this one - the flower paint job does nothing positive IMO, & moving up to medium format is a bonus!

90% of those AGFAs have focusing glued. And near impossible to repair. Unscrewing means holding that thin brass edges with special tool. Pressing bit to much bents it or cracks glass inside.

But 40% off! Funny. You do see some ridiculous prices on ebay, that's for sure. There is a 5 lens set of Canon lenses up now for only 350 THOUSAND DOLLARS. Cheap at twice the price!

There's a used Minolta AF 35-80 f4-5.6 for a mere £10,000,000 at the moment; that's about $13,000,000. With a broken bayonet mount (more than 10 available you'll be pleased to know; I hope they all have the same bayonet fault otherwise that is a case of misselling).

I have to assume those are fat-finger typos; otherwise I can't even see the point of those auctions. Even if someone accidentally pressed the buy button the payment would almost certainly fail.

Money laundering by the stupid.

Certainly it's not hard to break the mount on good ones to get £10 million. Still it's not a lens I find tempting.
