40 leica-items. The us-ebay offers more then 600 leica-items and they are
much, much cheaper then in germany (shops and ebay).
so i will try to buy some items from there. But what does that mean "
reserve not yet met" ?

It means that the seller has named a reserve price -- it the item doesn't 
bring the reserve, it doesn't sell. Once someone bids the reserve, the price 
automatically jumps to that level and then the real action begins.

BTW, I just returned to Leica photography after 12 years away. I bought both 
my new (used) M4-P and 35mm f2 on ebay. I was quite satisfied with the items 
and very pleased with the price I paid.
