Oh, I should point out, though, that the last Koni-Omega cable release on ebay sold for eighty bucks. I think I paid sixteen for my last one. Now if you had a box-car of those, maybe you could make some money.

I have had passing thoughts about selling my rig, too. I've got an RO200, all four lenses (just about mint), both auto-ups, ground glass with loupe (same viewer as the Omegaflex magnifying viewer), and two 10mm estensions, plus the original Koni-Omega hard case (in case a train runs over it) to keep them in. Also have custom-built paramount cords for flash use. But I can't see just giving it away, and I'm guessing I couldn't get more than about $800 to $1,000 for the whole thing - maybe a little more if I parted it out.
