Olympus OM-1 MD in box (no foam)

Why, oh, why do I buy things I don't need? I've heard so much about the OM-1 that I had to have one.... So I did but never got a lens for it.

The shutters seem accurate but since I don't have any lenses, it's untested. The battery area is clean but the negative tab is loose and disconnected from the wire. Of course, the OM-1 is not battery dependent so the camera still works just fine. I might fix this, but if someone wants this as is, I'll just sell it as is.

Please someone buy this because I pick up a lens!

NO!. ha. Trying to sell extra gear to purchase more. haha. I do enjoy looking and holding this camera, though.
 
Nice camera, I was given an OM-1MD with a 50 f1.8 yesterday in pretty much mint shape, just needs new seals and a camera strap. Good luck with the sale.
 
Can't believe that nobody has picked it up yet...
 
Me too! I'd totally keep it if I didn't want to buy other gear.

Need some courage to go for an untested one to be honest, plus battery compartment may need CLA, plus no lense, well well ...

What would e a good price for a film tested body with and without working meter?

It is a great gear no question about it, I solely intended to reflect to the question we had and to share certain uncertainties that may contribute to hesitation from my perspective.
If there is a prism fome removed already, I do not think if a working meter would make a big difference, that's more about personal preferences.
Someone considers such camera highly likely does not need meter anyway in most cases. [emoji2]

Have a Zuiko 50/1.8 silver eye if needed [emoji4]

That's another pain me too ...
There is a chance also for EU that it lands in the Custom office and they add a nice tag for VAT based on their price assumption ... Why is it so difficult to buy US goods?! ... I digress ... Sorry ...
