This caught my eye, then caught the other one. If for nothing else besides the astronomical price tag.

I know black M3s are a bit rare, but at 67k I figure there's an angle I'm missing. ? History, provenance, etc.? Was it the first M3 to travel through time and space to the year 2013, or something?

Single Stroke M3 are rare, but this has brassing. That is minimal signs of use? The price is nuts.

M3 - Thats 3 megapixels, right? My phone does better than that. It's got no LCD either. Way overpriced....

What Leica needs is a 24-30 megapixel SLR to compete with Canon and Nikon.
And this M-3 doesn't even have IBIS.
Has anyone seen the high ISO examples?

This is way overpriced. I just picked one up in slightly better condition for $54,000.

$67.000, that is certainly much more than the United States of America can afford.

435 morons agree, it's worth raising the debt ceiling to get a bargain like that. They're just drawing up the time-share agreement now.

i always knew leicas had quite some resale value to them but this is even beyond my wildest dreams. if an old m3 goes for that kind of money i might just be able to buy a little island in the carribean with what my m6 is worth.

The problem with these old M3's is their small buffer. They shoot 24, max 36 shots before you have to clear them..
