You never know what you can get in an odd lot sale. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's a box of junk. Recently I bought an odd lot from ebay. I mainly bought it for the Moviola film cranks that were the main item in the lot. There was also a Bell & Howell projector, six split reels and a few empty cans for 125.00. When it came the cranks were in good shape, the projector worked but the take up reel would skip, reels and cans were ok but at the bottom of the box I found a Dr. Leo Catozzo M2 16mm tape splicer in perfect condition. It was like finding a gold nugget.
I don't know if the lot you're looking at has a gold nugget, it's a risk. I'm more curious what's on the film reels. Good luck to you.
