I'd separate it, sell the lenses, the carriers and then the enlarger.
There
is more likely to be a market for the carriers to different people etc.
Maybe keep one of the carriers to sell with the enlarger, like the 6X9
one?


While separating items is often a good idea when there's a strong market for
each item individually, it's probably not a good idea in this case except
maybe for the one glass carrier. If you look at the completed sales section
of e bay you'll see that negative carriers alone seldom attract any bids.
Most of the time the only ones that sell at all are the glass variety -
since they cost $100 or so new and are useful to people still doing darkroom
work, there seems to be a market for them at about $20. But plain negative
carriers by themselves attract almost no interest.

Separating the lenses from the enlarger might be a good idea if they were
something special or unusual but plain vanilla enlarging lenses as old and
relatively mediocre as these are unlikely IMHO to attract much interest by
themselves.

Hello:

What would a fair value be for a Beseler 4x5 enlarger (model 45M?)?
It's
an older model (black crinkle paint). Complete, in pretty good shape.
No
damage. Excellent bellows - no holes or tears. Wooden base is in good
condition with just a few light chemical stains. Enlarger has the motor
drive. With neg carriers for 35mm, 6x6, 6x9, and glass 4x5. Built in
red
filter. Aristo cold light head. Older Schneider 105mm and 135mm
Componon
lenses (not S models). Lenses probably about same age as enlarger.
