Look, the cameras are standing *exactly* the same way. I guess Ulrik is having a Warhol day.

You're quite right. Don't mind the drab olive as much, I suppose.

No, I would call the bidder stupid. That's not even in desperate territory - it is plain stupid.
I don't know what to say - either some people have more money than sense or the bidder actually believes the lenses are included.

The winning bidder will also take a big bet. The seller has (0) feedback. Might be that $10k isn't that big of a deal for some (un)lucky folks.

That's what surprised me. The seller has no history. To me, being rich is no excuse for being stupid.

Well, it's confirmed, my 5D Mark II has been sold.

I now have to decide whether I should sell my R8, 19mmv2 and 90apo.

As for the M9 on ebay, I'm sure someone noted that a scammer would have faked feedback.

Hey, it's in NZ! Nobody in NZ has an M9. Someone from NZ convince me otherwise.

Willing to bet $10k? I am not.

Takes little efforts to setup a new account on ebay, while simulating feedback takes time and is certainly not that straight forward. I would not touch that camera even at $1k.

There are at least 3 that I know of in NZ. One of them belongs to Birgit Krippner

Speaking of M9's, mine is arriving today. I may be the first (at least actively posting) member of the alt forum to have one? Plenty of Leica, Zeiss and Voigtlander glass to be played with

I have a meeting at the Canon office this afternoon at 5pm, if the camera doesn't arrive before 4:30 no way I can take it with

If it does I'll charge the battery in the car and show Canon what they should clone.

I've got to work again tomorrow

but I might go out and play this evening with the nokton, and then after work tomorrow again since no work on Friday this week

So I'll go nuts then.

Damn this is one pretty camera... I'm loving the look of silver lenses/accessories on the black paint body. The battery is taking an eternity to charge

I don't know why Leica doesn't auction new M cameras when they come out. I bet there are quite a few who would pay well over the RRP. At some point the average auction price would reach the secret RRP at which point Leica could then issue them to dealers at that price. They would maximise profit that way. Canon has a go at this by sliding the RRP after a few months, but Leica could really rake in the cash due to pent up demand and hysterical desire.
How would their dealer network feel about this ?

that M9 got relisted. a few excerpts from the auction description if i might:

"Due to my inexperience selling skills on eBay, the first auction was unsuccessful."

"Now I'm re-listing it with conditions: No first or non genuine buyers please."

"As $9000 is my reserve price, so as soon as you become a bidder, I'll stop the auction and contact you for selling details."

Probably pretty good if they can auction stock through the authorised Leica auction site and share the profits with Leica. It's clear that early adopters are willing to pay extra for the privilege, so who will complain? We see this on auction sites whenever supply of new goods is limited, so why shouldn't dealers and manufacturers join in the fun?
