In US dollars, we used to buy nice M2/M3 for $2-300, clean users, I had MANY...this was from 1975-80 or so.... In the 80s, my wife bought a "beater" user for $275 (1987 or so...) Now the same camera sells for $700 or so... I sold a "parts" camera for $200 (truly a junker, incomplete RF) coupla years back....Now if I still had it, I'd buy an RF and install it and have a $900 camera (RF costs $550 or so...) I guess the moral is that if a cheap bastard like ME will put out $5-700 for another body I don't need, it ain't likely that there are ANY for $300...MAYBE a beater CL with non-working meter, MAYBE... Sorry to be so frank, but if there are any $300 M-whatever, intact and working somewhat, with good RF, I'll be damned if I've seen them! Can't we find this guy a beater and one of you "collectors" with two dozen camera sell it to him for what you paid in 1977?....as I recall that this guy is an avid photographer and has little money...Hell, If I had the one I sold for "scrap" I might give it to him and let him find an RF.....
