That collection of lenses alone are worth all of 100 bucks, so the
package assuming the LX doesn't have sticky mirror syndrome is about
300-400 total. Still better than $70.00. I guess he'll be holding it
for a long time.

The LX is surprisingly valuable. EX copies are regularly advertised for
$300-$400 at KEH.com. Cleaned up with four interesting but not particularly
rare lenses it could easily be worth $700. However it's most probably would
need a CLA, (including mirror bumpers), not an uncomplicated job. What were
the lenses by the way. Just curious.
There was a 50 f/4, a not very fast manual zoom, maybe 70-200, some sort of
“macro adapter” that might have been 2x or something. An off brand 135 (cosina
maybe?).
The store was on Mission between C. Chavez and 24th.

I thought I’d see what he was asking for it. The owner of the shop looked like
he was old enough to have shared a baby sitter with Teddy Roosevelt. He said
he wanted $700, but it came with four lenses. Unfortunately, none of the lenses
were particularly interesting. He might be able to get $70 for the whole kit.
Oh well, at least I got a fun photo out of it.
