I've already sold a few lenses in this forum and in EOSHD. Since I'm from Brazil, eBay isn't a good option for me, and people really don't dig into anamorphics here. Once again, I have more lenses than I can use, and decided to let them go. Check out the descriptions, prices and pictures below.

1 - Century Optics Bayo 58mm. (1.33x stretch, focus through)
Hardest version of the Century to get, this one has 58mm rear threads. Glass is in perfect condition, no haze, scratches or dust. It comes with front and rear caps. Won't go as wide as the Panasonic, but it's perfectly fine at 35mm on Full Frame, no vignetting at all, and corner sharpness is much better.
The focusing process uses only the taking lens, no double-focus nightmare here. Blueish-futuristic flares, stretches out perfectly to 2.35:1 from a 16:9 HD image.
US$800 shipped

2 - Panasonic LA7200 + Extras. (1.33x stretch, focus through)
I've modded this one hard, to fit every need. Now I'm moving towards LOMOs and would be sad to let this baby in the locker, gathering dust. I've machined a custom front for it, creating 105mm filter threads for attaching big diopters - which are somewhat hard to come across.
The glass is in perfect condition, no haze, fungus, scratches or chips this time. Rear thread is secured with Redstan's clamp, with 67mm threads, closest pairing possible with the taking lens. I'm including front and rear caps - not the original ones - and the original lens pouch. As everyone already knows, it's focus through, allows you to rack focus on the taking lens and go extra wide-angle at the same time. Has some problems regarding corner sharpness, but I think it's awesome.
I'm including in this kit a custom-made filter holder for 4.5" diopters, and three of these: +0.5, +1 and +2, Tiffen, in perfect shape. This way, you won't need anything else in order to start shooting with this lens, even at the widest lenses and apertures. This size of glass is very hard to find, and this adapter doesn't even have a copy. Single unit!

3 - Isco Widescreen 2000. (1.5x stretch, focus through)
A nice lens from the Isco family, this one isn't single focus as the Iscoramas, or double focus as the modern ISCO glass. It has a fixed focus distance, like Century, Optex and Panasonic, and all the focusing is done on the taking lens. In order to achieve closer focus, you must use close ups. I got this one off ebay about six months back, and it came with a 55mm clamp missing a screw (replaced and in perfect working condition) and a 67mm filter thread epoxied to the front of the lens. I tested it a lot to see if this ring wouldn't come off during shooting, but it's really solid. I added a 67-72mm step up at the front and a 52-55mm step up at the back (both can be easily unscrewed off). Lens is MultiCoated, so, unless you're working like this, no crazy flares.
I must inform that the rear element has some bad looking lens separation. It shows up a bit in the last photo in the link below, but it doesn't seem to affect image quality at all. When you point a badass light source directly INTO the lens (like a LED flashlight), the clipping white area is a bit bigger than it should, since the light bounces through the separation. I asked Redstan about it and he said that even bad looking like that, wouldn't affect image quality at all. Besides this, lens has no haze, fungus or scratches.
Included here is a Soligor pouch in which the lens fits neatly inside, both front and rear caps (72mm and 52mm respectively). Sitting around on my desk there's also a Sigma +1.6 62mm achromatic diopter that I'm putting into this kit as well. It comes with the original jewel case. and has no marks on the glass.

X - Bolex-Möller 8/19/1.5x. (1.5x stretch, double focus) - SOLD!
Is there anything left to be said about this baby lens? Made for 8mm film, it outperforms Iscoramas according to many shooters. The 1.5x stretch is perfect for the most common anamorphic ratio around, 2.66:1. Focus is smooth, and it comes with a couple step-up rings (39-52mm and 52-72mm) as well as a 72mm cap. I wasn't able to get it working on the 5D3 since it would require too-long lenses, so I'm gonna sell it.
Both (front and rear) elements have some faint cleaning marks, which are not visible on the resulting images (tested with a T2i), but can be seen in the lens' photos.
US$1600 shipped - SOLD!

Y - Panasonic AG LA700. (1.33x stretch, focus through) - SOLD!
This one is a classic "entry level" anamorphic, focus through, allows you to rack focus and go extra wide at the same time. Has some problems regarding corner sharpness, but I like it a lot. So much that started planning a rehousing for it, but can't take it ahead at the time. So I'm selling the spare Panny I have here.
It's not in perfect condition. The rear glass has a chip on the top side which is only visible if you shine a light directly through the lens. In all other working conditions it performs as good as a perfect copy. For this, I'm dropping the price, A LOT. No other problems than this one. Plastic body is perfect, alignment screw is present, etc.
As I always try to sell the lens as ready as possible to start shooting right out of the box, this one includes a blank 72mm thread ring to reach the deeper threads of the lens, also a Cinetatics Mattebox which is a great fit, and extremely light. For last extra I'm putting in a +0.5 4 1/2" tiffen diopter, big enough to cover the front of the lens. I don't have any solution for mounting it, but it's a rare piece of glass, and gets the Panny working great in the 1-2m focus range.
The both lens cap and original lens pouch are also included.
US$770 shipped - SOLD!

All taken with a Canon 24-70 at f/2.8, as wide as possible with no vignetting (28mm) and telephoto (70mm). Pointing directly at light sources so the problem caused by the chip is visible. In other conditions, the chip is unnoticeable.
Also, a picture showing everything in the kit (except mattebox) and one showing the diopter size.
Z - Century Optics Bayo for GL1. (1.33x stretch, focus through) - SOLD!
This was originally a bayo mount, unable to use with our loved threaded lenses. I got a step up ring "stuck" into the bayo slot, so it's transformed into a 52mm mount and very very safe. It's not a permanent mod. The lens can be switched back to bayo if you want, just unscrew the back and remove the step-up ring. The front element has a few cleaning marks in one of the borders, but they don't affect the image. It comes with front and rear caps.
I adapted a 77mm thread on the front for attaching filters/diopters - it looks kind of rude, but it's safe and can be removed easily, if unwanted. It comes with a pair of rare Spiratone 77mm low powered diopters: +0.25 and +0.5. This combination of low strength and big size is invaluable when working with anamorphics. There's also a chinese +1 diopter.
Besides this whole bunch of diopters, there's a correcting viewfinder for 2.5" screens which will let you see the image in the correct proportion, directly in camera without any extra monitor or delay. The exact model for this is Century Precision Optics 0DS-LCWS-00.
