When I bought this lens I had to order and pay extra for each part --- front cap, rear cap, hood. That runs up the cost quite a bit with Leica gear. If I were to sell them stuff, I would sell the lens, then ask what they would offer for the other stuff individually. If you don't like the price quote, sell the peripherals on ebay.
