This will be an interesting auction: 7 M-series primes, look in excellent cosmetic condition (two are engraved with the previous owner's name, though):

Pentax M Lens Set - Lot of 7 - 20mm,35mm,40mm,50mm,85mm,100mm,135mm - No Reserve | eBay

My guess is that this lot will fetch about US$900.

It's certainly a mixed bag as to value. I might toss in a bid just for fun, in case your guess is the right one and less than $600 turns into well less than $600.

It's a tough lot to guess on. Nothing truly rare in there, although the M20/4 and M85/2 both add some decent value to the package. For better or worse, those are also the two lenses that are engraved with the original owner's name, which isn't going to help with the overall value of the package. It's certainly a solid collection, covering a nice focal length range, and everything appears to be in good shape. If I had to guess, I'd predict it will go in the $650-725 range, but it just all comes down to the seller getting a little lucky (or unlucky) with who happen to see (and want) the collection.
