I would like to get the table-top dolly. I frequently photograph camera and lenses to put on eBay. A regular tripod is very inconvenient for this, even one with a boom. But this dolly with its articulating arms would be great. I would remove the wheels though.
Just a thought, but without the wheels this may not have enough remaining mass / weight to support a camera (particularly with the arm extended), and simply fall over!
I'm not really interested, but a good Rolleiflex goes for quite a bit on ebay - one of the later kinds for nearly $5000. I assume these $20 are just joke ones that no one will actually use.
Ebay's kind of the wrong place to look for that stuff. You might not find that kind of camera at a garage sale, but you might it somewhere for a lot less. Ebay used to be the place to go for deals, but not anymore. At least that's been my experience. I've found that anything I can get on ebay can be found elsewhere for less, and at set prices - no having to wait around to see if you win.
I don't use eBay often enough to know. Though I did get lucky just yesterday, logged on to buy an old ereader (Rocket eBook) for ninety bucks, and found one for 21! Buy-now price too.

What would be the point of a $20 twin-lens. It would have to be a piece of shit and take shitty pictures.

It clearly comes under the Toy Camera category. Some people like those and use them well.
Wow, Rolleiflexes are that expensive? I knew Hasselblads are.
There's one for $3500. The $5000 I guess is just a lens.
That's a lot of money for a camera.
Sure is. And it's not worth it as a camera, it only has such a price because it's a famous collector's item.
I like the idea of the top down viewer and the square format, but I'm not going to pay that for it.
Well, at the other end there is this $20 plastic camera! But of course, the image quality is thereafter.
Another idea is an off-brand twin-lens camera, there are probably lots on eBay.

Well, as the kids say - LOL :-)

Where else do you buy stuff then, Dave?
