That way you are supporting your fellow LUGgers and you will have no hassle collecting the money. And you won't get it back after the buyer dropped it right out of the box. I have personally bought and sold dozens of items to both LUG and HUG members and NEVER once had anything but a great experience. I have always shipped what I am selling to the LUG/LEG/HUG buyer and said "if you like it, send me a check, if not, send it back." Leica users are honest and reputable folks. Only once did I get an item back, and a week later he (hello Michael Hintlian :) ) was asking for it again but alas, I had sold it to Tim Spragens. Who didn't return it. A user (Ex) 35mm Summicron. These are your friends, they will treat you fairly. And if no LUGger wants the outfit, then move to Ebay and take your chances. JMHO Jim
