Found this listing for a CE-4s bundle (link at bottom) for 350 USD. No way in hell is that worth 350, right? Seller claims to have done research and it's fair...
did some research myself and couldn't see any possibility for that price but any expert opinions?

Items:
Chinon CE-4s
PW-535 power winder
Osawa 80-205mm f4.5
Tokina RMC 28-70mm f3.5-4.5
Vivitar 283 electronic flash
Zykkor 2X tele converter

Vintage Chinon CE-4s Complete 35 MM Camera Outfit 1980 Mint

It's a nice kit, and the condition looks fantastic. For that reason alone, and assuming it's all in working order, I'm going to say it's worth around $150 at best.

If the camera & power winder are in mint condition & in working condition, together they're both worth ~$150 at most (like BigMacCam said). The zooms, flash, & 2x converter can be found rather cheaply on keh, shopgoodwill, & ebay.

Seller may be trying to get what he paid for the lot new in 1980.

My brother-in-law thought it perfectly reasonable to expect to sell his well-used
non-collectible car for the same price he paid for it brand new some ten years on.

We all live in hope. At that price they should have it a good long time.
