This set may appeal to someone who wants to play with 5 X 4 and 120 roll film. The camera is a Horseman, the lenses are probably fifty to sixty years old. If you want to put it up on eBay, I suggest dusting off the equipment. Use a new micro fiber cloth to clean up the lenses. Maybe a "buy it now" price of $450 on eBay. Of course, you'll be giving eBay a 10% fee and then another 3% for Paypal. Shipping and handling is another expense. I'd charge $40 dollars for shipping--FedEx ground is your best bet.

A huge matter in the pricing of lenses is the condition of the shutter. Also important is the condition of the lens elements (chips? scratches? cloudy? fungus?)
Another big issue in pricing of the camera is the condition of the bellows (light leaks).
Do you know anyone who shoots or has shot large format? They might be able to test shutter and examine bellows for you. People pay more for equipment that has been examined by someone who knows how to use it and can verify that it works.

Hello,

To be honest give it away or use it for land fill.

Cheers

Or even better maybe use it and sell the photos

I'm sure that someone somewhere would get a lot of enjoyment out of this and if thinking of ditching it instead I'd say give it to charity. How about the Disabled Photographers Society? Or something/someone similar...

Looks like this is quite a dusty version of the classic Horseman LE 450. There is a cleaner one for sale here on Ebay for US$345 and the focusing loupe may also be of value too if  it cleans up ok and has no fungus?

I was in the market for a studio monorail a year ago, so there is a small market of individuals who want to try out shooting view cameras and want inexpensive "starter" gear. There are lots of monorail view cameras and accessories on the market, so your chance of getting it sold is related to its operability. Your lenses are not particularly exotic, but if the shutters work, it is entirely possible that people would buy them for a shutter and retire the lens elements. Don't give up if there's a great big scratch on the front element, just describe it. You can get 50 to 100 bucks for a decent shutter - your Compurs may be on the low end due to the age and lack of parts, but these were great, high quality shutters at one time. If you live near a big city, you may be able to sell the gear to a used camera dealer and avoid the shipping and eBay hassle. For example, KEH near Atlanta, GA buys large format equipment of this type. I have bought a lens from them.

that appears to be a Horseman LE 4x5 Camera. In local markets I've seen bodies go for anywhere from 350-500 depending on their condition.

I have a Horseman LS 4x5, which has axis and base tilts, and mine looks brand-spanking new compared to the beat up LE pictured here. 

You could list that as an Horseman LE 4x5.  But don't ask for more than $150.
