[Leica] Sell or part exchange?

[Neil Frankish <nfrnkish@tcd.ie>]

I am in a little bit of a dilemma.  I bought a 35 becuase I felt 28 gave
too much distortion for "street photography", but sometimes the 35 is just
not wide enough. However 28 is too close to 35, so I thought I might
replace the 28 with a 24. At the same time, I could do with a second body.
As a consequence, I am considering a deal with my local shop, trading in
the 28 plus cash (lots) for a 24 and a secondhand M6 body. The problem is
that I'm only getting half of what I paid for the 28 (latest, boxed and in
mint condition) - about $850. I think I might be better selling the 28
privately, or doing a private swap for a less than mint M6, but prices are
higher here, and $850 might be reasonable. Any comments?
