I did very well with the older cameras I sold on ebay but this one is more serious:

These are really nice cameras. I should get a grand for this one. If it were my only one I wouldn't be selling it.

Next up will probably be my 135mm f2 lens, a collector's item now. I'm still looking through my stuff to see what's gathering dust. Got some more antique folders, too.

Sold. $900 shipped.

Got some bids from Italy which I expected but it's going back to Japan instead.

--Tom May I ask what you were hoping for as a closing bid?

I was hoping for $1K but I haven't seen any sell for that much.

I'm happy with it. :)

It went back to Japan. I really thought the Italian bidders would come on stronger because it was so popular over there. They had a strong importer at the time much like Nikon had in this country.

Well Tom you must be thrilled. How much did you originally purchase the camera for in 1978?

Actually list price was over $700 at the time but when they stopped importing them the dealers started unloading their stock.
