I, too, saw their website and would be interested in their reputation by anyone that has done business with them. I hope they'll post on the list. > Foto Hobby Modern & Antique > Rossmarkt 23 > 60311 Frankfurt/M > Germany I have mixed feeling about that store.(I've been there 3 times) There are very expensive, it is almost impossible to make a "win win" deal with them.(It will be very difficult (say impossible) to sell to somebody else at 75% of the price-with taxes-you will pay there.) But You can find there, very rare stuff from time to time (prototype, army etc) that you will seldom see elsewhere. But what I don't like is to find there like new M3, M4, M4 black paint and M5 who looks like they have been made yesterday or rebuild totally at the factory(ex: M3 new with M4 back plate, M4 speed wheel etc..for 4.000 DM plus taxes) that's around 3.000 US for something not original in my eyes. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope that somebody else will give us other references Lucien (I will certainly go back there the next time I will go to Frankfurt, just for the fun of it)
