Seller doesn't give price says just make me an offer.
I'm curious what is the price limits for its real market value and being a bargain. Here is the set:
contax rts body+
real time winder+
zeiss distagon 2.8/28 mm+
zeiss planar 1.4/50 mm+
zeiss sonnar 2.8/135 mm

I'm no expert, but I've been getting into the Contax system lately, so will try to help.

There was recently a seller on eBay selling the 28, 85 and 135mm f2.8 lenses for £75 each. I think those were a bargain. I bought the 85, but not the others. In retrospect, I should have bought them, and sold them on.

I paid way more than that for my 50mm f1.4, which seems to be hard to get at a decent price. I do know a dealer who has a 50mm f1.4 AE for £100, which I think is a pretty good price.

Don't really know anything about the RTS and winder. I'd probably offer £500 and see what he says Very Happy

Ah so you beat me to it. I've got that 135 2.8, as £75 seemed a very good price:-)

RTS I saw it at the fair today, seller asked for 400 Euros, this means Ebay should be around 300.

Realtime winder = no idea sorry

Distagon 2.8/28 = depends on make, if AE price should be around 150 Euros, if MM, around 200 Euros

Planar 1.4/50 = around 130 for AE, 150-170 for MM

Sonnar 2.8/135 = around 120-130 for AE, around 180-200 for MM

700Euro, hmm Very Happy
I don't need the body and it is nearly half of the cost.

The RTS body can be easily obtained for around 100 euro on ebay. 400 seems more the price for a cheap RTS III.
The winder should cost a few tenners max.
