I advertised most of my old film era primes for sale here and I did sell a few and I intended to sell the rest to a company who buys this stuff but I didn't bother for weeks until yesterday when I got around to making a list. I sent it to two companies and today, Sunday, and I was very surprised to get a reply on a Sunday, I got a reply from one of them. I was gobsmacked. It's easily twice what I thought it'd be. I'll wait for the other quote and then make my mind up.
After my gobsmacking I looked at this quote line by line and IMO some have been significantly undervalued looking at what some have gone for on ebay but I've never sold on ebay and selling them to a dealer is an easy option.
I'm keeping some Rokkors and maybe two Zuiko's and I may keep one or two Nippon Kogakus especially as they valued the 50mm f2 at £10 and that seems amazing to me as it's a true classic lens and in this case with no optical issues that I can see at all and with just some wear on the body as you'd expect from a lens this old. Anyway. It's not going anywhere for a measly £10.
I used to have a GF who was a wizz at selling on line, shame I never kept in touch as I'm sure she'd sell this lot for four times what I expected
I wonder if they'll do what Wex did and reduce the quote once they get the lenses?
