Selling antique cameras.
Oh, also a balance beam, scale. Excellent condition with weights going up to a couple of ounces. With marijuana being legally sold now, the market for such scales has declined.
When I bought my house in SO, the seller left a bunch of old cameras in the basement. I joined a vintage camera collectors group on Facebook and offered to give them to anyone who would reimburse me for shipping. I couldn't be bothered with looking up values and trying to sell them, but I also didn't want to throw them away. Eventually they all found new homes. One even went to Australia.
There's often interest in old non-working cameras for parts. Don't assume nobody will want them.

Step daughter inherited stuff from her grandfather. Cameras date from early 1900's to WW2. Most are clearly of no value but one is a wooden framed, glass negative camera and another is a pre WW2, Zeiss, 35mm.
She asked my help in selling them. I am not interested in the effort to photograph them for eBay. M.O.L. is a choice and Jamie says I have a free listing available (but I would pay for it anyway -thanks, Jamie).
Any thoughts?
Post them for sure.
I hate dealing with ebay. My recent effort is driving me crazy with strange $6 fees popping up and no customer service.
I can't wait to see these cameras.
Is One Stop Repair still operating? He might want them or might know someone who refurbishes vintage cameras.
First thing would be to make and post a list of what’s available.
Where are these currently?
For clarification, the photos are not an offer to sell. Just a response to the request to see photos of the cameras.

I wonder if a company like Restoration Hardware would buy them. A very upscale furniture line that always has unusual antique items in their decor. Check out their catalogue.
That wooden box camera is wonderful.
