Hey everyone, newbie here with a request for advice.  I've been given a
screwmount Pentax Takumar 4.5/500 lens, serial number 3788992, in good
working order.  Should I try to find an individual buyer, contact antique
camera dealers, sell this lens through Ebay, or not bother trying to sell it
at all?  The lens have no clouding or crazing but does have one small
"snowflake" of fungus, it's still got both end caps (the metal one has been
slightly dented along the edge and the plastic one is cracked but still
useable), everything works great on it, it's got the original case with
original shoulder strap but has got some wear and tear on it, and the lens
itself has a few pock marks in the plastic areas and body.

What do yall think, keep for nostalgia cuz it's not worth anything, sell
through Ebay, sell to an individual, or sell through a camera shop?  So far
I've only had one shop respond to my inquiries with an offer for $150 for
the whole thing.  Is this a fair amount?
