$200 for a 40 year old electronic camera with a Series E 50/1.8?

A plastic Nikon AF SLR, a plastic Minolta AF SLR, a Canon AE-1 with a Chinon Vivitar Series 1 70-210, and a Minolta SRT 200. The rest are Polaroids, Instamatics, a Disc, a folder of some type. Not really sure it would be worth a two hour round trip...plus the "I don't no anything"...

Ouch. That looks like a total loss. I don't care how uncommon a lens like that is, if its a total loss, it's not worth it.

Yeah, I'd be hard pressed to give 88 cents for it in that condition.

And for the seller to give it a rating of 8/10 is ridiculous.

looks like there are rotting fish guts spread all over it. Perhaps he is trolling camera shoppers? Or just an ignorant knucklehead? Probably the latter.

From the ad : "It has been recently examined by a staff member of a camera centre". But he does not say what they thought of it I'm guessing he wanted them to make him an offer for it, but what/if they offered was less than the £140 he seems to be expecting.

I have one of these I bought new in 1978, I didn't pay that much for it new.

I bought a Super Program lot with seven lenses last year. Listed as Clean, fully functional with lenses in 80 to 90 percent condition. The camera and two lenses were fine. However five 1980’s Sigmas, three zooms and two primes, were completely infected with wet fungus. Luckily the seller was a good fellow and refunded nearly all of what I paid.
