I know right? At first I was like "a XR Rikenon 45mm f2 at that price? Chances are they mislabeled it, it should be a 2.8", looks at photos & sees its a Minolta 45mm f2 on it and the film photographer in me was like: "My heart... it hurts 😭". And not untill you read the discription more towards the bottom do they have the right info for the lens

Looks like they've forced it on upside down? In fact that's the only way it even kind of works. An MD lens will hang loosely in the mount if it's upside down...

The lenses have some value, certainly, but more than $4k? Someone is a bit delusional, I think.

The guy would be better off selling the lenses individually. They are quite nice. But a decade old 12 megapixel crop frame body that tops out at ISO 3200? Nah.

not a craigslist find, but more of a commonly found experience through craigslist.
I have had the most bazaar offerings for stuff i'm trying to sell on craigslist. case in point:

I was selling an electric guitar, someone made an offer to give me half of what i was asking for...and the kicker is, that he would let me sleep with his wife to cover the remaining...

also trying to sell several camera gear with a lumped up price of, say, $10,000. Individually, i may have listed a lens for $150. I get replies often saying 'the whole lot for $150?'

seriously, where do these people come from?

Just found this on shopgoodwill:
Yeah, sure they're digital cameras...

I wonder if she had any say in the matter.

That reminds me of a "Peanuts" cartoon - Lucy's leading Linus around on an educational tour of the neighborhood, and she demonstrates that a "palm tree" can be identified by the fact that one can wrap his hand clear around the trunk. "Oh, good grief!!!" said Charlie Brown.

I reckon these are "digital" cameras because you could wrap all four of your longest digits clear around the camera.
