Irix 15mm sold.
Q7 and lenses sold.
Might start a new one as I'm looking to move on a few more things.

Q7 kit (minus batteries) arrived! Everything in great shape, very pleased with it. Thanks Haris, pleasure dealing with you!
It took a while, as we learned the hard way that shipping Lithium batteries is prohibited, even the tiny Q batteries are considered "dangerous goods" . Only a battery placed in the camera itself can be shipped: that apparently removes all danger. Other batteries were confiscated and destroyed, the rest was fortunately returned. Hope this helps others to avoid this trouble!

What a nightmare! Thankfully Matthijs was extremely patient and is now the happy owner of an almost complete Q7 kit!

Were the batteries not declared to the postal staff? If they had the PO may have accepted it and put an appropriate sticker and sent it surface mail. When I enquired about it while sending something else and being asked if it contained batteries, that's what they said to do. If not, what happened would have been a likely outcome.
I expect those 'destroyed' batteries are now for sale on eBay and get posted to the buyer!

I told the guy at the PO that I had batteries as I usually do, and in particular also mentioned how they came up as prohibited in Int'l mail on the info sheet. He wasn't so sure either but said they should be fine to send with the sticker attached.
The online guidance puts all responsibility on the sender, not on PO staff so I really should have checked what the 'size/quantity' requirements were for sending these items.

Q-S1 sold now, but the Q7 is still available along with the rest of the kit. I'd want £410 posted (RMSD) for the lot, looking at these prices (posted by 1st Class Signed) for the separate bits:
Q7 - £130
01 - £85
02 - £70
03 - £50
06 - £100
Bag - £10
Since the Q kit is going, the mount adapter will be £110 posted on its own.
