<p>Hi everyone, so I recently bought a Rolleicord III on ebay for $130, since it looked to be in good condition in the pictures and had a very good return policy. However, it was an estate sale find, so the owner wasn't making any guarantees, although he did tell me the shutter works. Anyway, now I got it, and I found that the shutter doesn't fire from 1/10 - 1/1, and that there seems to be mold in the taking lens. Other than that, there is no film spool and the screen is very dark, but I know I can simply buy replacements for them. </p>
<p>The question I have is whether I should just return it, or try to have it fixed. I figured about another $130 would go into fixing the shutter perhaps, and most Rolleicords I found in working condition on ebay were selling for over $250 anyways. Is this a good idea? If so, are there any good repairmen who would fix it in that cost? I live in NJ, but wouldn't mind mailing it. Or I could just return it and maybe find a better one. Thank you.</p>
