I'm thinking of buying a Contax with lens Carl Zeiss 25mm/2.8
5 hours left and it's on 45€ (roughly counting). We are low on money though, and I'm thinking of this as a means of investment and to sell the lens on ebay... the ones I saw in the "Used lens price guide" was sold for £250. Do you think this is a good idea (I can't afford it if it's a mistake).

What Contax camera is it?
The value can change enormously from a simple camera to the big cameras.
Also check that the Distagon 25 is a MM version. Their used value is much higher than the AE version (sometimes the double).

Contax 137 |
Contax 137 M? Quartz (hard to see the second letter, cold be MA or MD). The letherett has fallen off, but I've read it's common and possible to buy new.
It's hard to see the lens but what I can see it's in good condition. Looks like it has an UV-filter on. And the seller have thousands of feedback and none negativ, 100% positive.
But I guess it will rise the last few minutes :/ So I shouldn't keep my hopes up.

I would not expect much from the 137 in terms of sales - a sum around 75 Euros
THe used value of the Distagon 25 is 150-200 Eur for the AE version and 300-400 Eur for the MM version (assuming is good condition)
