Several years back, I somehow ended up with a complete Ricoh GR Digital 'Creative Set'. This is the very first digital GR, from 2006 - a pretty special camera IMO. Includes original packaging, paperwork, batteries, charger, cables, manuals, accessories, CDs - everything. Here's the 2006 Press Release: https://www.ephotozine.com/article/ricoh-gr-digital-creative-set-2824
The set:
- GR Digital
-Rechargeable Battery (DB-60)
-Battery Charger (BJ-6)
-Wide Conversion Lens (GW-1)
-External View Finder (GV-1)
-Hood & Hood Adapter (GH-1)
-Camera Case (GC-1)
-Neck Strap (GS-1)
I actually already had a one of these cameras when I found this, but it seemed too rare/weird an opportunity to pass up. Because of this, it's never seen any real use whilst I've owned it. It's just been hidden away for years - patiently awaiting your custodianship.
There's a choice of cameras: the top one is my original one, it's seen some use though all fairly light (tiny rubs and scuffs, slight wear to the grips and a bit more dust), the bottom one has seen barely any use (although there's a little dust and some tiny marks too) - but it does have a light scratch on the LCD.
So hard to price because it's completely impossible to find. The set was £699 when it came out in 2006, but it looks like you can find the camera for about £200 these days in fairly good condition. The accessories are quite sought after funnily enough, especially the finder. And judging by eBay, it looks like you could cobble together the camera and main accesories for around £400.
I think £500 is fair for such a complete timewarp. But let me know if I'm off. Happy to sell one of the cameras on it's own too - there's another case and strap to go with that, plus a third party charger and some batteries.
Complete Set: £500
Camera only: £200 (also boxed, inc. OG case, strap + 3rd party charger, 2 batteries)Collection from Hoxton, but happy to post too.

Originally put this together because I loved the idea of an early, pre-M Leica but hated the idea of the tiny rangefinder/viewfinder. I did try it with a collapsing Elmar but found it a bit too laborious. The Snapshot on the other hand turns it into a kind of steampunk Ricoh GR - ridiculosly quick and easy for such an ancient manual beast.
The IIIf is from 1952 and the Snapshot is from 1999. The Leica is in good nick, everything moves and works as it should - but it is 72 years old and looks it (which is great IMO). The Snapshot is in great condition too, nice and clear, just a little dust. The finder has some dust and a little separation, but it's so goddamn bright and sharp that I never noticed.
The lens is hard to come by these days, and the finder even harder, so its tricky to part with for that alone, but it's just not getting the use it deserves anymore.
Also chucking in a Voigtlander Bessa L that I occasionally used with the Snapshot. Its a light, modern body that has an internal light meter and a neat little indicator that's visible when your composing a shot. It has a dodgy loose winder that stopped me using it in the end unfortunately. I never tried to fix it but you might have better luck. Apart from that it's in good shape.
TLDR: Weird but brilliant combo you definitely want and need.
£600 takes the lot.
Collection from Hoxton. Happy to post too.
P.S. That's a dirty but really nice B+W filter on top of the lens. I definitely should have cleaned it. But that's included too.

Great headphones these. This pair was a hasty replacement when I thought I'd lost mine, only to find them and miss the return window.
They were opened and tested, and I did pinch the small ear tips - but I've added some much better (and brand new) Comply tips to make up for it.
All original packaging, instructions and cable included.
Will post for free fully insured.
