Hi,
I'm thinking about selling my full kiev kit ( jupiter 11 (135mm f4) ; jupiter 9 (85 f2) ; jupiter 3 (50 f1,5) jupiter 8m (50 f2), Helios 103 (50 f1,8 ), jupiter 12 (35mm f2.8) / and a Kiev 4a body from 1959 , good year of production ). How much do you think I should ask for? (everything from good to very good).

Don't do it...

at least, not like that.

You'll take a beating IMO. Follow this advice:

Sell piece-by-piece, buy in big lots.

One of my fundamental instructions in my eBay class.....

Or, how I turned a "lot" of Mamiya Press equipment, bought on Buy It Now purchased for $499, into $1200 cash and kept a $200 lens for myself. Twelve pieces in all, closed out in a "lot" by Adorama. Imagine that?

I agree. Sell the items individually - you should get a much better overall price than selling it as a whole kit. (In fact, I've made some nice profits by buying whole kits like that on eBay and breaking them up to resell individually, right back on eBay)

yep, ok, true. Hem, more money, but more time to organize too.

I'll try to see if anyone's interrested, and then I'll sell parts.

Well, I took your advice and it's now for sale on the classified section.. ; -) (entire kit or parts).
