Bob--

Great advice! And as far as 'offending dealers,' you're not offending this
offensive one! ;-)

Thor, as expected, this bag of goodies has had a big response  because it's 
all great stuff! So, take your time, search it out on the Internet  and
price 
it, say, 10% less than the best price you can find. Don't offer to a  dealer

yet because of the big response you got from users and collectors,  who 
obviously will pay more for clean stuff. 
   Then offer it one item at a time on this site or on Ebay,  collect your 
money+ shipping through, for example, PayPal, and then deliver the  goods.
Since 
Leica is new to you, pick, say, one camera and,maybe, a 50mm lens  to keep 
for yourself. 
   If you prefer the cash to the camera, then sell the best of  the lot -- 
the 85mm and 28mm lenses, the M6, the M4 and the IIIF with the self  timer.
The 
CL body might bring the least, but possibly not. The CL lenses do  bring a 
lot, the 40mm, the 90mm and others but you did not mention any of them,  so
I 
don't know if you have them. If money is secondary, I would keep the
newest, the 
M6 and a 50mm Summicron. 
  I hope I don't offend any dealers but in the spirit of helping  someone
who 
says he knows very little about Leicas but appears to know enough to  use
the 
proper terms in describing them, this is presented as independent  
information. --bob cole
