Hi:

The same here... it's hard to believe some of the prices requested and 
received for a lot of that stuff.

I saw a Leica M3 with no lens. The back had peeling leather and was 
generally beat up, the back that is, not the camera as a whole.

After I saw the price of $1,350.00 and confirmed that price, I returned 
the camera to the table and began looking at something at the next 
seller.  A few minutes later it was purchased for $1,300.00.  It 
certainly didn't seem worth it to me... others here may disagree.

Jim
