I have an old Zeiss folding camera that is, as far as I can tell, not broken. It does need TLC. I paid $5 for it at a flea market and if you want it, send me a private message and I'll send it to you for the price of shipping. It's just sitting on a shelf gathering dust and I would love to see someone fix it up. The shutter does not seem to be frozen and there are no holes that I can see in the bellows ... but it's dirty and very stiff from lack of use and needs lubrication, cleaning ... everything. Then MAYBE it'll work. But the price is right. I can't tell whether or not the lens is in decent condition of not.

You're just feeling sorry for me and trying to get me kicked out of the house. My wife said, "just one more stinkin' camera," and she won't even go in the same room with them with a duster in her hand. Very generous of you. Thanks. I'll pm you.
oK I use a Canon 450D and got this lens on ebay for $38. shipped. Got it Monday and takes great photos.

Lucky you ... but not everyone has shared in your excellent Karma. I sure haven't.

I've been trying to get rid of stuff, you know, sort of ahead of time, yep, "that time," but I'll take a load to Goodwill and bring another load back home, stumble over it for a few weeks or months and do it again. I keep thinkin' if I can just get me one more good unused "ab" machine, I'll eventually develop a some of them six pack abs I keep hearing about. I've got the ab doer, the ab trainer, the ab rocker, the ab twister, the ab... They're all in the basement. Still no abs. Someone the other day told me I would have to actually use the things and then I told them something.

Let me just say, which I failed to do adequately in my earlier post about ebay, that I have had successes with purchases on ebay but I would venture to say that the preponderance of my purchases have involved fraud or theft via the sin of omission. I do subscribe to "let the buyer beware" but we're talking wholesale fraudulent misrepresentation here.

I've had MANY exercise machines. Some are better for hanging clothing on than others. I think stationary bicycles are best: you can put quite a few shirts on the handlebars alone and the seat will handle a heavy coat.

I've used KEH and just wanted to say they are a real class act and are very honest on the way they rate the equipment they sell.
