For Donation to Photrio:

A 9x12 Voigtlander Avus parts camera.
Includes ground glass back, (gg broken).
No lens or shutter.
Bellows untested, but appear to be in decent condition.
Lots of usable parts...( or, if you're masochistic, it's a restoration project).
See pics.
Pay what you think it's worth to Photrio.com, and show me proof...& I will cover CONUS shipping cost as my donation...sorry, but international shipping is problematic and expensive, therefore not available.

I've seen worse! Actually an easy rebuild once you find a suitable lens.

If it is not gone by the weekend, I'll make an offer, but I already have one!
 
I've got two working Ideals (and a parts camera), or I'd probably jump on this. I agree with Kino, find a 1920s vintage lens in shutter (possibly on an even further gone plate camera), go over the bellows and put fresh ground glass in it, and then you're down to hunting for plate holders and film sheaths (and wishing 9x12 were just that little bit more popular in the US, so there was more than one or two emulsion choices). Or you could get/build a 4x5 conversion -- put a 150 mm lens on that, and it'd be close to focusing on one of those at its original infinity stop.
