The hubby and I are going thru boxes from his parents estate that have been stored for 10 years and found this camera. It is an Olympus om10 with a Cosina 35 - 70 mm 1:35 - 5.8 MC Macro lens says made in Japan. It is an older film camera that has film it in with 7 pictures taken. I do not know if it works as I haven't tried putting batteries in it yet.
I am wondering:
1) Is it worth it to put up for sale?
2) What would the price range be if I did?
There is also a flash attachment but not for this camera. It is a Vivitar Auto Thyristor 2800 with a cable attachment I am thinking is the power cord to go direct to a camera or possible a battery charge. It uses 4 aa batteries. Not sure what that is worth either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

E Bay has one for $162.50 in excellent condition.
You will be lucky to get $100 for the camera and lens on eBay if you have the manual adapter attachment. Half of that without the adapter. I have an OM10 I don't use, but never felt it was worth the hassle to sell it.
Olympus OM's used thin foam rubber strips to keep light from entering the film chamber. The foam disintegrated over time -- at least it did in the four that I own, all sourced from different parts of the country. (But it can be fixed cheaply as a DIY if you buy new foam strips). The OM-10 is the cheapest model of the OM series and is not worth much although it is a great camera. The lens you quoted is not collectable and also worth little. The flash likely has no value. When checking prices on eBay always check what things sell for, not the asking price.
By the time you pay ebay fees, shipping, etc...... And learnin how to sell on ebay is a timely confusing matter.
