For sale is a nice working Bessa with the coated Skopar f3.5 lens.

This is one of my favorite cameras for packing a huge 6x9 negative in very little space.
This is a fine example.
Bellows is light-tight. Shutter is working at all speeds. The lens is free of fungus or haze. Note that this is a vintage camera and dust and minor cleaning marks will be on the lens. This will have little, if any effect on the images produced.

$215 shipped in the USA

I'm getting excited to take it out for a spin!
 
Finally some results! These are from the 2nd and 3rd roll through the camera. The first was a roll of Neopan that Darin generously included with the camera, but isn't developed it yet. These are HP5+. I think it's a keeper.
