(1) First up for sale is a Leica M3 single stroke with preview viewfinder and flash sync along with a SUMMILUX 50mm 1.4 with leica UVa filter and original leather case. Items are used but are in excellent shape. I just ran a roll in the camera and all functions seem normal and in working condition. CORRECTION: The frame counter does in fact work just fine, thanks to member dk_samurai for reminding me to actually remove the take up spool to reset the counter, thanks Dave. Along the back the original owner had some tape stuck to it to help indicate which film he had in the camera, the sticky remains have been removed and cleaned up as seen in the photos.
Here are some photos of the camera and lens, and if you need any other photos of any other part please ask and I will take them for you.
This is being sold as a package only and will not be broken up. KEH camera offered me $1000.00 for so that means they will turn around and sell it for $2000+- becasue of their traditional double mark up.
I would like to sell this to some lucky owner for *NOW $1400.00* including shipping + paypal fees. I am willing to hear offers that are reasonable.
(2) Next up for sale is a Leica R5 Chrome body with Motor Wider R with grip and a VARIO-ELMAR-R 35-70mm 3.5 zoom lens with B+W 60E filter. The Lens is in Excellent Plus shape including front cap and instruction book. The Body is in excellent shape and the light meter functions like new. I just ran a roll through this and there is a light leak from the foam seal on the rear film window (replaceable).
Here are some photos of the camera and lens, and if you need any other photos of any other part please ask and I will take them for you.
This is being sold as a package and will not be broken up and is being priced so that your pretty much just paying for the lens and getting a free body.
I'm asking *NOW $600.00* shipped + paypal for everything and I'm willing to hear offers that are reasonable.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I will answer them as fast as I can.
Please respond with PM's and Please remember to post on this listing so we can keep track of who first and as always to be able to leave possitive feedback for my buyers.
Thank You
Paul
I have not finished the removal of the tape mark on the back yet but I will post photos as soon as I finish, I hope within the next 2 days. As for the lens its very clean, no dust or scratches and no cleaning marks.
jordanstarr..
thanks for the math, what I mean is the traditional double commission of any trade in or resale value that any camera broker or camera store charges.
So am I to take it that by you writing on this post that you are interested in buying everything listed here, thats great just let me know and we can make a sale!!!
I had the crazy idea that if I messaged saying that "50% markup would be $1500" that you would say "woah, in that cause I might as well mark this camera down to $1200", then I'd consider it. I didn't post to please my ego on my math skills (which I have little of), just thought you might have made a mistake when pricing it based on those calculations. I'm always interested in upgrading from my RF system, but just waiting for the right time on the right item.
Wow, one of the very last M3s produced. Anything with a serial number over 1,000,000 tends to command a premium, and slightly more so for anything over 1,100,000.
