craig_supplee Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 <p>I needed this laugh tonight!

lauren_macintosh Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 <p>I do not blame you for laughing at that ad. Some of these sellers have more moxie than PT Barnam</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_smith110 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 <p>All that shoddy black velvet is worth the asking price alone. The lens is just bonus.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 <p>Well, I hope that's supposed to be a joke. Maybe they will sell the rear cell in the next auction?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rod_larson Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 <p>Hope they are keeping it in a safety deposit box.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_supplee Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 <p>John, maybe the rear cell is hiding on the other side of the $10,000.00 black velvet! What is in back of the curtain...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_mareno1 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 <p>It's a rare beauty, but perhaps optimistically priced. He's OK w/ offers though. Funny, I looked at his feedback, and he seems sane enough. Maybe a listing error. A firm $10 offer might snag it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles_stobbs3 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 But he will sell for bet offer and he will get lots of people to look at his ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starshooter Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 <p>He can't sell it unless people know about it and it did get your attention and you are helping him advertise it. Just how smart are you?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou_Meluso Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 <p>This is obviously a typo. Funny though.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mukul_dube Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 <p>The other items this seller offers are sane enough.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_supplee Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 <p>Wayne,<br> I guess I'm not very smart, as I was just looking at it as to how funny the price was. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou_Meluso Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 <p>I thought I would help the bloke out and contacted him. His reply:<br> LOL, whoops! Yes, $10 is correct... I think 10,000 is the default price and meant to change it!!!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 <p>On the other hand, Tessars can be quite nice.</p> <p>If this is what a Tessar goes for these days, just think what a Meyer Domiplan (also a triplet) might be worth. ;)</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathewDH Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 <p>You know, this may actually make an interesting seller strategy for getting noticed. Have an opening bid of $10,000 but also a BIN for $10. :-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_foreman1 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 <p>So this is a 75mm Tessar.. was it on a Platten Camera? IS this teoretically the Rolleiflex stamdard lens? Someone mentioned the rear element ... is it incomplete? .. Maybe 10,00 is a good price?!?<br> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_lockerbie Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 <p>C'mon, the 75mm Tessar is as common as muck, but half a Tessar...just name your price.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
