thousands
of photography items we will be listing over the next few months in order to liquidate the vintage stock of a Grand Rapids Michigan Camera Store that was a local landmark for over 60 years.   The store was closed many years ago and the stock was boxed up and has been stored since then.  We now have the opportunity to liquidate this massive treasure trove of vintage photography items ranging from cameras, lens, and developing and enlarging equipment to vintage photos, slide negatives, 8mm & 16mm movies and glass negatives from the late 1800's and up and everything in-between.   Due to the age, history and storage of these items, condition varies greatly, some items may smell musty from storage. We will indicate if shutters fire, but we will NOT warranty the accuracy or speed of a shutter from any vintage camera, as they are typically SLOW.  We are not photography experts, but will try our best to accurately describe the items and their conditions.  We will attempt to test to the best of our ability, but will be limited by knowledge, facilities, and the sheer volume of items being processed .  Items are sold "as is" with NO RETURNS available.  These are considered estate items and are sold with potential faults discovered and undiscovered.  Due to the age, length of storage, and type of items these are we highly recommend a thorough cleaning and servicing and this should be considered when bidding or purchasing.    Please examine photos carefully and ask any questions in ADVANCE of purchase or bidding.  When submitting questions please remember that we are NOT "photography people" and you will have to ask questions in simple layman's terms.  Also please allow adequate time for us to research and answer questions: asking 5 minutes before the end of an auction will not allow us the time to return an accurate (or possibly any) answer.
