Den,...I've bought quite a few cameras from E-bay over the years. There are so many listings in which the seller says they "know nothing about cameras" or have "no way of testing" or some such other vague explanation of why they cannot give an indication of the camera's condition that my default thought process is to suspect chicanery. I realize this is not always the case--your's being an example--but it's my suspicion. And this often prevents me from bidding.
I guess because I feel comfortable around a camera and can generally figure out how to get the shutter to work and so on, that I don't understand why others cannot at least do some fundamental checks.
Given that you are not a camera collector/enthusiast I feel that your description is quite well-written and informative. You seem to have given the camera a good esthetic evaluation. But mechanically I am left in doubt. You do not say, for example, whether the shutter is functional. The other thing is that film for this camera is no longer available, so it would be for collectors only, not users. (It may be possible to modify it so that it shoots 120 film. If so, a little research would tell you that and you might want to include such a comment in the description.)
It could also be that your starting bid is a little high. These old Kodak cameras, although I personally think they are all wonderful, just aren't worth a lot of money. Did you take a look at recent selling prices on this or like models? That might give you a better valuation of the worth of the camera.
Good luck with it Den. Its a nice looking old machine.
