My best 'finds' are:

A Canon S5iS for under 100 bucks (new, in box!)

A Vivitar Series One (original) KA fit Macro. $17

An immaculate Ricoh Diacord G with pristine case. $80

4 Pentax K/A lenses including the Pentax 100mm 2.8 macro for $27.75.. so I am a big fan. Sure as I said there is a load of junk, but there are always hidden beauties, hiding behind : 'xx mm Tiffen lens, feint scratching, quite long, I think the lens is a haze' which was how the 2.8 macro was described!

They don't know their filters from the lenses to which they attach half the time? It's always worth typing "49mm lens" in their search bar to see what pops up!

Bless! Smile

PS I almost forgot - my local Goodwill store, as opposed to their on-line effort, sold me a G7 for $79 dollars - with 'non working flash' I used my 220Ex for a while (though the shutter lag with external flash is a killer!) then noticed the small micro-switch that lives in the hot-shoe to tell it an external flash is mounted was stuck down, flash or not.. a small dig with a cocktail stick and voila.. Fully functional G7 with all the bits - $79 dollars and 1 cocktail stick! Smile Smile

Do you mean you can help me to bid them? Could you estimate their final price, as I have no idea on this kind of auction.

Hi,

If you want, then yes I could bid for them. You can also bid! There's nothing to stop you getting a shopgoodwill.com I.D. of your own!

They don't ship internationally but your money is a good as anyone's! lol

As for shipping, I do send quite a lot of bits around the world, and have accounts with USPS, UPS and Fed-Ex so if there was something you found interesting I would be happy to work out the shipping costs for you, and give you a heads up as to the likley cost! I could also accept delivery and on-ship.

Customs etc. may be an issue, though rarely so unless goods are of very high value, at least that's my expereince shipping to Holland, U.K., and France...

If you are interested, then P. Message me and we can work something out!

Doug.

Usually, what kind of conditions should I expect for that lot. Moreover, from your experience, how much would you pay for them?

Did any of you noticed that in the description there also described a "Angenieux Paris F 90 1:1.8 type P1 lens" ? Could it be an interesting/rare lens? I've often heard Angeniuex was (and still is) a lens maker known for the quality of its lenses (made in small and limited amount)

Thats why I am interested, but, it souldn't be there if it is repairable. So, I know I am bidding on a batch of display items only. Very Happy

The list I made above was all in A1 condition..

You pays your money and takes your chance!
