I'm thinking of selling my Ansco 5x7 camera (that needs a new bellows,) my Davis and Sanford tripod and 596 sheets of outdated Kodak sheet film. Five boxes have never been opened but have been refrigerated. I'm having some sheets processed shortly to see how the film is. I had to wrap the dark cloth around the bellows to close off a cut in the material.

I'm wondering who may be interested and what they would pay for all this stuff.

I’m confused… are you really selling or just testing the waters? I might make an offer but wouldn’t want to insult you so would only do so if you state the minimum you’d consider acceptable. If you are a serious seller, please feel free to do so privately if that makes you more comfortable.

You are selling thoughts?
Classified threads - even make an offer Classified thread - are much more likely to be successful if you include in the title with something identifying what you want to sell .....

Somewhere in the 350-400 range is what I'm thinking. I am going to wait till the film is processed to make a decision.

Ok time to downsize. I am going to sell this system. I have the new bellows but haven’t put it in place as I can’t figure it out. If you’re interested give me an offer.
