For Sale Mamiya RB67 Pro S, 180mm f4.5 K/L Lens and (Metered) Chimney.

[pbryld]

Was planning on putting this on eBay, but thought I'd offer it here first. % to apug if sold.
I've just copied the text I already prepared for the eBay auction. If anything, I'd like to know if I could make it (the text) better before listing this wonderful camera.

Don't really know what to charge. Please make a reasonable offer.
Shipping costs are dependent on your location, so LMK for a quote:

For sale is a wonderful Mamiya RB67. I am selling it because it simply isn't getting enough use.

It's ideal for use on a tripod, but it is very hand holdable as well.

The body is in very nice condition and the leatherette is not peeling at all. Very clean on the insides. Bellows very smooth.
The back is too in excellent shape, as you can see from the pictures.
The lens is in great shape. It has a scratch on the bottom which is not visible unless you turn the camera upside down. The glass is in perfect shape, no scratches or fungus. Shutter seems accurate at all speeds and it focuses smoothly.
The chimney viewfinder is metered, but I do not have the batteries to test it, therefore I can not guarantee for it to be in working condition. I have never used, as it came with the camera and I prefer to use the WLF. Consider it non-working for now.

If the pictures do not suffice, please let me know as I will be happy to send more.

Everything will be shipped by Royal Mail.
EU: £32.95 - 3-5 days
US: Economy £46 - 8-9 days or standard £59.95 - 5-6 days

Happy bidding!

You should definitely test the finder first. It reads like a scam to me and I wouldn't go in for it.

Well, I don't even know what battery it uses. I guess I'll ask in the Medium Format section.

I just thought someone might want it even if the metering didn't work. Would it be better to just take it out of the listing (if I don't test it)?

Call it an added extra given away free on the understanding that it's untested.

I would include a photo of the chimny finder. I think the listing is clear enough that it is untested. As a buyer, I would value it as non working. Does not feel like a scam to me.

I'm not in the market for one of these, just my thoughts.

Oh, I didn't even realise that there weren't any. I'm going to add some now. Also, I edited the text after the other apug'ers posted. Before it just said that I didn't know whether it is working or not.

EDIT: Seems I can't edit the first post now.

Here are some pics:
