Please don't be insulted by this question, but are you certain that you are asking close to four thousand dollars for the camera? If you intended to put a decimal point somewhere else, why not do so and re-post.

Hello John,
There is no mistake in the price and yes I am sure that I am asking $3,950 (Three thousand nine hundred and fifty).
and of course I am not insulted my dear friend. IF, and I repeat myself IF you can find one then tell me the price that is fair to ask for the VERY FIRST model of Bronica, that is highly collectable and produced in less than 2,000 (Two thousand) pieces, with 2 lenses, a tripod adaptor and a flash bar, FULLY serviced and FULLY WORKING !!
Honestly what bothers me the most, is that people are totally unaware of the differences between a Bronica Z and a Bronica D and they think that D is the first model. Well it's NOT, Z is the very first model of Bronica.

Thank you for your suggestion

P.S I really enjoyed viewing your pictures

Your explanation may help sell the thing since, as you've written, most people don't realize what it is you're selling and that the price reflects its collectability. Good luck.

And, thank you for looking at my photographs.

Thanks Tony,
You can see that people are unaware about the differences and they still think that the Bronica D was the first Bronica model.
I would suggest reading that article which explains Mr Zenza's ROLS ROYCE history.
The camera works VERY SMOOTH, as it should, after "Holy" Frank's treatment !
In addition I have finally managed to track down the tripod attachment, that is also included in this sale.
I too belive that my pricing is fair for a piece of history and NOT just another Bronica camera.
