The point I was making is that Stan must be making too much money off people like me to be ABLE to pay this ridiculous price. And that generally this is not beneficial to those of us who primarily USE Leica gear. (BTW I have purchased many thousands of dollars of equipment from him and probably will continue to do so.) Perhaps, I'm jealous although I would put that kind of money if I had it into Lancaster County grandfather clocks as their investment potential is far greater. Paul T. Collura
