If you really want a 6x7, you can be sure that Bill's camera is in excellent condition and fairly priced.
Remember though, that to take advantage of those big negs, you will need either a darkroom or a relatively high end scanner, like the Nikon medium format film scanner. You can get decent scans on a good flatbed, but your results will be about as good as what you'd get from an *istD or other relatively low resolution digital camera. Been there, done that. Fun, but not very productive.
