15mm and the Autometer III definitely worth having but no idea as to price.
I'm sure eBay completed sales will reveal some prices.

The Super A and 28-80 are going for around £15-40 and £5-45, respectively.
There's been two recent auctions on ebay for the 15mm, one in Germany and one in the US selling at £660 and £677 respectively. Both were 'buy-it-now' and both had caps and hoods. The German one also had the original Pentax case.
The 70-210 is going for anywhere from £40-90 (with warranty!).
The AF280T is going anywhere from £20-50. This has swivel and tilt and is one that works well with digital as it has its own light sensor.
The flash meter has gone for between £30(in US) and £80(in UK)
Most of it is fairly common but the 15mm could net a tidy profit!

Thanks for all your advice
Think the 15 might be out of my price range.
May put in offer for the rest of it.

Unless the A 28-80mm is the SMC version I wouldn't bother with it. I keep seeing them listed BIN for silly money which they really aren't worth - about the same prices as the A 35-70mm which is a much better lens!

A bit of an update,
After several phone calls and help on the forum it turns out that the SMC-A15 F/3.5 is indeed a rare lens and would retail in excess of £600.
