I agree, with you marc. ebay does actually represent "the used camera
market" now, just cause most people buyers and sellers are using the site
more and more everyday. case in fact, most of NY dealers also sell on ebay
(B&H, adorama,.....). the fact is the R system prices are staying up there,
# of transaction are not as much as M though (as expected), after all the R
is a leica

[Since these are Leica items and these are the listed selling prices, these

[$1300 on e-Bay, why sell it elsewhere for $900?
