Why not check out eBay and have a look at some completed auctions. This will give you a very good idea of the price range.

The prices on this site are very good. What sort of reputation have they got? good/bad!!

Rocky Cameras have a poor reputation. The main problems I see reported are poor descriptions (usually items significantly worse than claimed), slow service and non-arrival of orders.
I have never tried them as a result!
If buying a Super A check the translucent window in the pentaprism housing is properly attached, mine was loose. It's an easy fix but involves removing the top plate, scraping away the old glue, then holding it firmly in place and using a few drops of liquid plastic cement to reattach it. This window brings light in to illuminate the viewfinder LCD displays - there's a small button on the side of the lens mount which turns a light on to illuminate them when you don't have enough natural light.

Not just Rocky by name then?
I was looking at some of the lens prices and they do seem a bit too good to be true!

I bought my A*300mm from him after reading this thread link, It arrived within a couple of days and was in the condition described, the only niggle was he'd neglected to say there was no front lens cap I also gave Father Ted thumbs up and I believe he has also purchased from them, so if you need reassurance you could drop him a PM and ask his views.
