Your 85mm lens is 1:1.8 as it refers to the largest aperture. I’m not a Nikon
shooter, so I don’t know a lot about the adaptability of their lenses, I do
know some are used by Canon folks, but if I recall correctly it is more the
20mm and macro lenses that have perceived value. What is enhancing the value of
older lenses are the new Sony high-end mirrorless camera bodies that can take
just about anything.
Starting with eBay is a good idea. For general sites, Craigslist is also good.
You can search larger cities to get more pricing data for your lenses. KEH is
the largest national used gear dealer. They both buy and sell, so check out
their stuff, especially the condition ratings and associated prices.
Also many Nikon user sites such as Nikonions have online forums for buying and
selling. I use these kind of sites for my own buying or selling. The pricing is
usually fair. The rub is that you are considered more trustworthy if you have a
bit of a posting history.
Good luck.

Pricing advice?
I'm clearing out 10 years worth of photo work, plus old cameras at my studio
this weekend--20729 87th Ave SW, Sat-Sun 10-4.
And I've got a Nikkormat film camera with the following lenses:
35mm Nikkor-O-C Auto 1:2
Nikkor 85mm 1:18
Nikkor-Q Auto 200mm 1:4
Anyone have an idea what the whole shebang might be worth? I see the body
pricing around $30-50 on ebay, but it's hard
to know about the lenses, since I'm reading that they can still be adapted
(even though not auto-focus) to current digital cameras.
They run around $100 and more on ebay, but I know nothing about how to differ
between certain types. For example, the 85mm on
ebay is a 1:8, not a 1:18.
Also got my original camera from when I was 12 - a Yashica 44 twin-lens
reflex! Not worth much, but lovely for people who collect vintage cameras as
art pieces (don't even know if it still works).
All are welcome, mostly selling out tons of greeting cards from my original
digital printer, before I went to offset in San Francisco.
Thanks for your help!
