The original seller  stated:-

Beautiful Minox C in great condition. I've included several shots of this camera so I won't write too much about that other than to say it looks virtually unused. Needs a battery, which I don't have (they are available) so haven't managed to test it but it looks fine and clean. There is no reserve on this item. Please take a quick glance at my feedback before bidding and then bid with confidence. Please ask any questions before bidding, I'm always here to help. Thanks for looking.

Here is what the seller failed to show and following the camera being returned re-auctioned with the same description.

A possible repair but starting at $150. the camera was tight - due to the dirt and the leaked battery affected both terminals, flash contact and had obviously gone onto the circuit board and inside the camera.

Both auctions went to over $150.
