Great, working and shutter is accurate, right ?
Otherwise replacing or fixing a shutter on an older SLR or rangefinder model with hard to find parts, may cost your buyer as much or more today, as what they paid to buy the camera from you.
I buy, sell, trade my used gear all the time, and I try to be sure it is in as-advertised condition , both mechanically and cosmetically.
Cheers and best to you.

We're all left to wonder how serious was your research into pricing and the sincerity of your interest in completing a sale of anything, when reviewing this for-sale post: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-774359-1.html

all the camera shutters,still work
Do you understand the difference between shutters still work, and shutters' speeds are still accurate and within tolerance.
When I had my shutter go off , it still "worked" but it had slowed down (imperceptibly) and was overexposing.
I dont know if you have the ability to shoot some film and have it processed to verify your shutters speeds are still within tolerance, or not. I would do that if it was me selling those three film cameras. If I was a buyer of your film cameras and intended to use them, I would feel better knowing the shutters were still accurate, before I bought them. That information alone might make the difference between getting the sales or not.
Certainly for the digital Canon 7D you can easily check its mechanical shutter for correct exposure, and get a shutter actuations count.
Otherwise just sell them "as is".
Cheers and best to you.

i'm selling as is, if the specs aren't 2 your liking, its up 2 you
That is perfectly your decision. Best of luck to you on your sales of all four cameras. I hope it all works out for you. I dont know what the used camera market is like in Hawaii.
If you are planning to sell them anywhere where they can't be examined in-person, then make some decent photos of them from many angles, give full descriptions and prices you are willing to accept, or ask for bids. .
Cheers and best to you.

You may have already thought of this, but a list of equipment, giving basic info...make, model, condition, shutter count, asking price, shipping costs, etc. would be appreciated. The more good information you provide, the better responses you will receive. Good luck!

He is selling "as is" condition, with no shutter counts.
Cheers

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 .
The sensor manufacturers do not want to make CCD sensors any longer. The astrophotography crowd favors CCDs, and even those cameras are now moving to CMOS. I still have a CCD Astro camera and I won't be selling it.
