Wow, what an interesting bundle of kit. My feeling would be around £2000. £3000 would be too much and £1000 nearer robbery ! All depends on the condition though..... The Canon stuff although nice is surprising un valuable having just purchased some to play with.

Hmmm ... not sure, but isn't the Hasselblad stuff worth a lot more?
And of course, it also depends on the condition ...

I guess the best strategy would be to see what simular items sold for, for example on Ebay,
and then sum it up and subtract some bulk discount ...

Best regards,
Martin

Martin, the kit is probably worth 'more' than the numbers I gave but I took the view that what was asked for as a 'good price' was what you could get for someone to take the problem away. Phone a dealer and get 50% of its value (with risk priced in) or sell it all piecemeal and take 20% off for selling costs plus all the time. If you are registered as a business then you may have tax to worry about because it is income. A large outfit is hard to shift and is hugely time consuming. If the question was what is the full retail of all the items then, yes it should be more.

I did this on behalf of someone last year and it was very time consuming, most of the lenses had fungus. Even on face value some of the cameras may not work as planned - do you test it all ? Good stuff sold quickly at a good price but much needed professional cleaning before it could be sold. Common stuff hung around for ages unless the price was low. Interesting and very enjoyable but I am not sure I would do it again for the hours I invested in it ! I learnt a lot.

Yeah, sure! Guess it all depends ...
on the time budget, condition of the items, business/amateur, etc etc ...

For example, if the Rodenstock 150mm f/5,6 is the newest Apo-Sironar-S,
it might sell for 500-600 EUR alone in mint condition ...
But I guess for those sell-it-all-bundles of course "you have to make the roast crisp" ;-)

Hasselblad lenses are CF models.

They are interested in offers around £3500........ To steep for me.
