Sal

I'd quibble a bit about Leicavits being "the latest in grossly over priced
Leica collectibles".

Leicavits peaked in collector prices around 1990, and have gone down a bit
since then.  I believe Tamarkin has had a couple in recent auctions which
didn't make reserve.  I believe they are currently trading only at the
$3,000 level, not the $5,000 and more they were bringing a decade back.
