I think the lens is worth more than the body it's on. It's in remarkable shape. Really, AMAZING shape, like someone took it out of the original package, then put it on the camera and then immediately back into a box where it sat for 75 years in a climate controlled room.The shutter alone is probably worth a couple hundred bucks in this condition.If you're looking to resell this, you may want to consider selling the lens separate. I've seen many times a less valuable body bring down the price of a valuable lens.If on the other hand the camera is collectable, that of course would be a huge mistake.

That lens is in immaculate condition, you really don't see this kind of quality very often. There is no yellowing on the enamel and no wear on the barrel at all. The camera is also in good condition.
I see that there is a name plate or strap missing from one side. If it is a early soviet camera, there may be a political or importation reason for this, idk.I'm not even 100% sure that ebay is the right venue to sell something in this good of condition.

You may want to list it with an auction house specializing in antiques.Seriously. I don't think I have EVER run across a lens with this vintage in this condition. Even the chrome on the shutter is without a single scratch.-Is the lens a convertible by chance? That lens is in immaculate condition, you really don't see this kind of quality very often.
