Hello Thomas,

$700 or 800 is a high price to pay for a 40-year-old camera.  Possibly =
one of the auctions, like the Cornwall auction, would be an option for =
you to check.  I recently looked at the results of the auctions posted =
at the Tamarkin web site, and I was surprised how low some of the prices =
were.  Unusual collector items, like black paint Leicas, were expensive, =
but many other items were much cheaper than the prices listed at stores. =
 Many lenses and bodies were listed as "unsold," indicating that buyers =
were not interested.

We Leica users think our cameras are of great value, but in reality =
their main value is in the pleasure derived from using them.  They only =
have monetary value if you can find a buyer (e.g., the "unsold" items in =
the auction had no value at all).  =20

Good luck with your search!
