I saw this auction and I am tempted for the craziness of it. However, is there really a reason for a photog to buy this collection and if so what for beside being one of 'those' collectors! I was thinking resell value, but I am not sure there is a market for them. The only thing that stuck in mind was the lenses, but how much are they really worth?

How many "working maybe" vintage cameras does a photographer need? None!
I dont know about the folders. The SLRs look rather uninteresting.

Depending on the lot's ending price, there might be some money in reselling...
But it's alot of work..... storing, cleaning, repairing, pictures, packaging, listings, sending......
Even if resold in small lots.... it's still alot of work....

Mind you, their might be some interesting lenses in there !

Then again... watch out for custom fees !

There isn't much in there that interests me very much, most SLR lenses are the kit 50's
The most interesting being the Vivitar 55/2.8 auto macro, and the Agfa fixed lens RF's.
