How high could a check for $35,999 bounce

Or perhaps he's paying by PayPal gift

Its interesting that he has several lenses he is selling individually in other auctions. Are these the only valuable ones in the lot?

Ha, I used to have one of these. Great little camera, my first digital:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nikon-Coolpix-990-Classic-Digital-Camera-Rotating-Lens-unit-/190796013034?pt=Digital_Cameras&hash=item2c6c541dea

His prices are kinda nuts, just way too much. For example this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Olympus-EVOLT-E-300-8-0-MP-Digital-SLR-Camera-Black-Three-Lenses-Kit-/190796013032?pt=Digital_Cameras&hash=item2c6c541de8

If these are the most valuable items in his collection, then the large lot is probably also way overpriced.

There is at least one Rolleicord and one Rolleiflex in one of the photos. But, I can't tell which models. But since film cameras have taken such a hit on pricing since digital has taken off I have no idea as to what some of these cameras should sell for.

Film cameras have taken another noticeable price hit when Kodak and Fuji killed another few films each.

I think the eBay fees have a cap. The PayPal fees don't though.

If there isn't an unpaid item case, then perhaps a "never received shipment" case

I am an avid photo gear collector and user, and am into photo history. I looked this pile over as closely as internet photos allow, and I'm just not seeing anything interesting. As far as I can tell, it's mostly lower end cameras from the 50s through the 70s. I see a lot of Argus cameras and cheap knock offs. There's a few almost nice cameras, such as a 1930s Rolleiflex, but those seem to be very few. I have doubts the whole pile is worth much more than $10,000. I might be optimistic with that. You'd have a problem reselling it all too. If you start dumping 30 Argus C3 bodies on ebay, you will quickly drive the price down to zero for a long time!

There's absolutely nothing in there for me. I like "big name" cameras from the 20s and 30s, and lenses from 1840 to 1859. I'd much rather have just one Leica Model 1 from the 1920s in good condition than that big pile listed on ebay.

Kent, I guess you didn't notice the Canon 1200/5.6L in the background.

This guy had a flickr page displaying all his collection before. I'm assuming he linked it.

He had some nice stuff.
