[Leica] M6 prices are $$$

[Frozenlight]

I did not say “brick and mortar” but I did say “legitimate store” which means KEH etc. but not Joe Blow on ebay. I have been on ebay since 1998 but I no longer use it for anything beyond buying cheap lens caps and such from “buy it now” listings. No high value items, neither buying nor selling.

Out of curiosity, I looked at some Hassy prices in real stores, and they bore no resemblance to what you state below. In any event, I want a Rollei.

Cheers,
Nathan
