RE: [Leica] CONDEMN Ebay? M6 FOR SALE

[Buzz Hausner <Buzz@marianmanor.org>]

Correspondent Jagitsch appears to have done the right thing by offering his
many...though I am certain fewer than nine...M series Leicas to the LUG at a
fair and pre-determined price in advance of posting the remaining items at
auction.  I take no exception to his behavior.  However, posting items at
auction and then directing our attention to the auction BEFORE offering said
items for sale to the LUG is the practice I find so distasteful and which I
roundly condemn.

What you are saying is that LUGgers deserve automatic price breaks 
(for what reason?), whereas eBay is a true open market for world 
bidders. I don't see how an auction could be considered as generating 
'unjustified' prices. No one is forcing people to bid. :)

I have posted many items over the past several weeks on the LUG. Last 
week I sold an M2 and an M5 for my asking price. But an M3, M4 and M6 
went unsold, in fact, no inquiries at all.

So, I posted the M6 on ebay with no reserve, and a $2 initial bid. I 
don't know what more I could do to make it easy for LUG or ebay (or 
LUGgers who buy off ebay.)
