Antique contax iiia camera

Zeiss contax iiia antique 35 mm film camera from the 1950s. Has a brown leather half case on it. I don't know if it works. It looks like it is in good condition. It probably works. I get storage units at auction. I do not know anything about cameras or how to work it and I don't want to damage it trying to figure it out. This camera is selling for around 1000 dollars elsewhere in working condition. It sells for around 250 as for parts. I am offering it for a more than fair deal and there's a good chance it works. But again I do not know. I know that it looks really good. No broken pieces. The shutter thing is closed like I read it should be and it's clean.
