You can spot................. Lucky you, i do not know what is meant by 'shutterbug' prices, but generally speaking, prices in europe are more or less the same over the different countries: very high. Even the people who are selling their equipment directly know the prices very well. But my main concern towards the 'easy way of finding leicas against a reasonable price ' is the thing of lenses; what about a 'normal' 28 mm , or a 60 mm macro? I would say that the body is the minor problem, an M3 in a good shape can be found around 650 dollar and the R3 even for about 400 , but the lenses stays on a very high price level.
