No link, so admin won't move it to the links section.

Go to etsy dot com, put 'rolleiflex 35mm camera' in search bar

First one that comes up

The OP has asked about the 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 twin lens reflex.

OK, I didn't see all that information?

This is the listing title, Rolleiflex Camera // SL 35 M // 35mm // 50mm f/1.8 Planar Lens // Film Tested // Working // With Owners Manual

My apologies

No need for an apology! I have a Rolleiflex TLR with the 75 f/3.5 Planar, so am familiar with them. And by the way, if it is in fact in good working order, that SL 35 M might be a good buy for someone looking for a decent film camera. It is not likely to have had much hard use, was pretty well made, and the lens is quite good.

Took over a million shots with Rollei's--mostly SLR--take great pictures and about a 72mb image--but when you bring that image up on a screen a lot of it is junk--a D800 will get you a lot cleaner image, doesn't require film (which is on life support) and is simply more versatile--but If you enjoy shooting 2 1/4 images you can't go wrong with Rollei

Had me excited. My first serious camera was a Rollie TLR that my high school photo teacher brought back from occupation of germany. While he let me use it for a day, he never let the camera or me out of his sight.

You can trust KEH.com for a clean, functioning Rollei. Expect to pay over $1200 for a decent copy when they have one in stock.

You might do as well with a Mamiya C220 or C330 body plus a lens for a lot less.

I have taken thousands of color and B&W images (and still do) with an RB67, a Hasselblad 500 and 503 c/m and a Rolleiflex 2.8F.

I scanned them all with a Nikon Collscan 9000 at 4000 dpi.

I have never gotten a bad images from any of them that was not my own fault. Maybe you need to use a better scanner.
