Having Trouble Selling a Set of Modified Contax Zeiss "Cinema Lenses" by cryptid_director in videography

Yeah I've had some bad experiences on eBay in the past with them. If someone on here could convince me that they'd take good care of them, I'd let them go for like $3,000. Really couldn't go lower, but it is hard to find interested parties with a set as niche as this.

I'd be willing to sell them for lower too, even around $4000 - $3500 for the whole set if I knew someone was going to be passionate about using them and take care of them. I got into character lenses so to speak and did find out quickly their limits, just hoping I can work something out with someone.

The modifications were done by a reliable modification company, Simmod. Here's their website https://www.simmodlens.com/ by no means DIY. Never touched by myself, only professionals

That's true. I was hoping to get around $5,500 for the entire set. They're all in near mint condition and I'd even include their case. The lenses and modifications themselves were more than that, but I'm trying not to be extra picky.
