You could specify basically your ‘low’ value as bid beginning point. If it is too much, no one will bid and you could try again, specifying a lower amount. I believe eBay doesn’t charge you if your thing doesn’t attract any bids, so this strategy would cost you some time, but no money. On the other hand, if your starting point is ‘too low’, others will bid the amount up.
When I sell on Ebay I don't do the BIN. I set the starting price at the lowest price I would sell. That would have the likely hood of nobody bids but I always sold so I know I wasn't too greedy. However, the Ebay fee and the Paypal fee eat up too much money for my sales so I don't want to do ebay any more.

What film cameras do you have for sale? Which one works and which one do not work. How would one pay for the cameras. Those are some of the questions people will be asking. Get everything set up before selling your first camera.

You're going to have difficultly seeing mis-labeled cameras. An EOS 7D is a digital camera. An F-100 is a Nikon model.
I mentioned the lenses might be more valuable. You might get $100 for the T90, but any FD lenses, depending on the model(s), might sell for $100 each, or more.

I’ve heard that some members of the younger crowd tend to be very interested in Contax cameras, including the “G2”.
Be sure to research ending prices for auctions involving it.

I wish digital camera maker would still come out with a 10 mp or more if possible CCD sensor on one model . That old technologies sensor i thought was special . On the other hand a used camera goes around $50 .

Check collectible prices for your film cameras on collectiblend.com. Their prices are supposedly based on reported sales/purchases. However, for some cameras their prices do seem a bit high, IMO. Look at actual sold prices on eBay to help set your price point on your gear.

OP: you may want to keep one film body and shoot a roll once in a while just for nostalgia purposes. I have one to shoot B/W prints. some of my dad's are close to 90 years old.

This is an impressive collection of beautiful cameras barring the few typos. I shall be making a trip to B&H for some film. For a realistic price on the cameras, try to remember the original cost. Then provide 10% to 40% off that price. Remember, the likelihood of a windfall is poor.
