Seems reasonable. I am going to call my buddy, Kravitz and see if he is bidding. If he is, I can't compete against him and will probably bid on the holga tree.

[Gary A.]

No where in the official add does it say they even all work so you should budget in a CLA for all of them...

As seems to often be the case, the article in Petapixel seems inaccurate. It says the sculpture starts with the Ur-Leica etc. - it DID, but those cameras were removed and taken to the Leica Museum when the company moved its headquarters.

The actual sculpture 'tree' is owned by a Leica store in Manchester - the cameras in the auction I think would be the Manchester store owners' collection.

Not that a buyer woudn't be getting a valuable collection of cameras, but I hope bidders clarify the information before bidding and know what the high bidder will actually be buying.

Gary has to rethink his bid,

lol
I have a very old US Half Cent ... so I have you beat $0.005

 

[Gary A.]

Damn ... And I thought $50.99 was pretty low. Damn, damn, damn ... now I really have to rethink my bid.

So basically you are bidding $55.00. That is the average going price for a poor to average grade US half cent coin.

Numismatically yes. But you can take any age US coin and take it to a knowledgeable bank and they'll give you the Face Value no problem, albeit a half cent you may need two.
