I think I'd have a better chance of getting $200 for my grandma's underwear.

Ugh! That's an ugly mess! I wouldn't try it... It'd be more work than it's worth.

You never know, there might be a market for it in Japan.

Maybe stripped for some inner parts but that's it really. Won't waste my time even if it's free.

Looks like someone has converted it to some strange mount by glueing a new mount over the K-mount. And he had a lot of that glue
