Sigma 105/2.8...Tradefor 12 bodies, 10 lenses, two flashes, and a bracket?

Some of you know that I have posted my Sigma 105/2.8D Macro for sale inthe Buy/Sell section. I also posted it on craigslist and I got a wierd response. Someone wants to trade me all of this:



Thisis what he told me it was:
"Would you trade the macro 105 for a box of film SLR cameras and lenses?
There are 12 film bodies--mostly Minoltas--seven X700s, an X570s, an XD, an XG-M, and a SRTSC-II and also a pair of Olympus OM10s. I have 50mm prime lenses to go with all of the bodies except one of the Minoltas (and one of the Minolta lenses is actually a 45mm lens). The cameras all function mechanically. All they need is a new battery. These cameras are all metal and built like a tank. I can also throw in a pair of hot shoe flashes--a Canolite Ed and a third party griped flash. Is this something you'd be interested in?

Would it be worth it in resale value to go through with the trade?

At $25 - 50 each, I don't think it's a great deal, and it would be a lot of effort to go through to get your money back. I'd pass.

Thanks! I didnt know the resale value, so I figured Id ask here. Thanks.

Ebay prices for those cameras are more like $15 a piece.
