The cameras section lists 552 items, including an 1889 Krügener Symplex and a €17,000 40x150 Kowa binocular set.

Field notes

The homepage presents the inventory as a set of themed “bays,” with counts for several sections rather than a single undifferentiated store grid. Its range runs from early optical and photographic equipment to modern and vintage guitars, reel-to-reel decks, shellac records, and film memorabilia. Prices span ordinary collector purchases and high-ticket objects, including a €17,000 Kowa binocular set and a €26,000 signed guitar.
