So what is wrong with the bellows?
All those pictures but none showing the camera with bellows extended.

$99,000? Money laundering? They had better not launder it. It might shrink in the wash. Our Canadian Loonie is too small as it is. Mickey |

Mickey --
Probably nothing wrong with the bellows, and there's probably a nice lens under the cap, and the back shutter probably works, and so on. But it is curious that such an outrageous price is listed without providing a wealth of information about the merchandise, both in text and pictures. And thanks for not mentioning that I called this Speed Graphic a Crown - long day.
Sid --
No, not money laundering since there would be a paper trail, although he might not declare it on his income tax. Maybe he thinks he has a historic national treasure. Or maybe he lists an absurd "buy it now" price along with a "make offer" button to see how high the bids might go. There is another one listed at $4000, and in response to the question "Are sure that you have the right price for this?" the seller said "Make me an offer, what is the right price?"

Indeed, "probably" should never, ever be used when purchasing a camera that you can not pick up and fondle. No DEE-cent camera should be referred to so shabbily. Mickey |
