This is another one for the food bank here in Ogden -- Thanksgiving is coming, please give it a thought.
This is a super nice Baby Rolleiflex, complete with the super-cool hard shell clam case that will have beautiful members of the opposite (or same!) sex swooning over you. They will swoon so much that they won't even care if it works.
Which is good because, sadly, this one doesn't
I have no clue why. You can cock it, change the speeds, the shutter makes a noise but the blades don't open and shut. They move a titch, but that's all. Something unhooked? Some lever not engaging?
No clue.
And the leather/vinyl on the front is missing, but the screws are not bunged up. If someone did open it up, they were neat about it.
So, it's a fixer/parts/decoration. The lenses are all clear, no scratches, mold, fungus, bugs or other damage. There is no impact damage to the camera. It looks really just fine. Focus works smoothly, wind knob winds and cocks the shutter, speed and f-stop rings move smoothly.
It includes THE ORIGINAL LENS CAP!!!
Have you priced Rolleiflex lens caps lately? It is criminal what people ask for those things, and you get one here, free, no extra charge.
So, what's it worth? Fleabay prices are all over the map; as much as $400, as little as $150, all guaranteed to be working, pristine, near mint.
I guarantee this one doesn't work. Let's see eBay people show that kind of honesty.
Personally I wouldn't pay more than $65 for it, so that's what I'll ask you, including shipping in the US, and the entire $65 goes to my local food bank.
This is the Joyce Hansen Hall Food Bank, Ogden, Utah. Feel free to Google, call and verify I've sent them more than $600 from these sales so far. Ask for the executive director, tell her Charlie Trentelman sent you.
As always, first money gets it, so PM quick. My email/paypal is summicron12000@yahoo.com
Thanks.
