I just bought an Olympus Om1 with
Zuiko 50mm/1.4 (good condition)
Zuiko 28mm/2,8 (good condition)
Zuiko 135mm/3.5 ( there is a scratch)
Sun zoom lens 85-300mm/5 (good condition)
4 expire films ( Ektachrome 50,Kodak color 400, 2x kodak color 200)
2 filter (UV)
Everything for 110 euros. My only concern is the camera viewfinder has to be repair or clean. They are some green gunk in the prism. It will cost around 50 euros and for the scratch lens i don't know if it will have a effect on the photos.

You got a bargain! Don't worry about the scratch on the front element. It will have virtually no effect on IQ. Scratches on the rear element are more serious.

Ok good news! Thank you Rob.

Serge, I'm not sure about the OM-1 but I know that on the OM-2 Olympus used a foam around the viewfinder prism that decays and eventually can mess up the prism. I'm not sure if that is your problem but could be. If are careful and handy you can remove the foam yourself but I'm not sure about cleaning the prism - I removed the foam on my OM-2 but it hadn't affected the prism yet.

Here is a link (are links allowed on the forum?) of a youtube video that might help:
