The fences will ONLY take cameras which they, in turn, can readily market. They can't sell a Leica easily, so they won't buy it. They WILL buy Nikons or Canons or Olympus cameras and the like, as these can be easily sold. There simply isn't much of an underworld market for Leicas, and the junkies aren't looking for them. The Bad Guys ARE looking for Nikon et al., as these can be turned into Ready Cash. I represent these guys in Court, and I invite you to spend a week in my office. Having met the criminal element, I suspect you'll recognize the truth in what Jim and I have been saying. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
