and a swiss army knife and a mount blanc pen........whats this guy doing, did he find a treasure chest?

My good Lord... that is a BIG collection of oldies!!

With just the couple of Leicas and the Nocts its well worth the price.

If you have a $60k laying around unused, you can 'invest' this and take them out on sale separately...

The gold Rolex would be worth a big chunk of that $60k as well!

Reading through that page is like a history lesson in film cameras. Warning to those with a slow connection - it's a HUGE page with lots and lots of photos.

The seller maybe auctioning off all that gear however it appears that he is still buying. He has just sent me this enquirey for a lens that I'm selling on the great auction site.

here is his question
Please confirm that the lens is made in Japan. If yes, do you have a BUY IT NOW price in mind ?
Your photographs are stunning, what did you use for a camera/lens ? Leicabuff,

here is the ad

He says over 75 hours to put it all together for eBay.

He seems to be selling everything but his testicles!

So, if I had a spare $55k US, I can become an instant "camera collector"? Granted, some very nice cameras in the collection that I would love to own, and it appears the current starting price is reasonable.
