Hi Tim,

> I may have misunderstood you - not quite sure.

Apparently so.  Either mail ordering equipment from out of "the country", or
buying it in "the country" from someone who bought it from outside of Leica
USA.  I consider both of those to be grey market.  I was not, in that
"conversation" referring to individual "in person" purchases by people who
bought gear themselves "in person" and brought said gear into the country
themselves...I don't believe that's ever been considered gray market.

> PS "anything not brought into the country" can't be grey market anyway...

Well, I think that confusion would not exist if you read the WHOLE sentence:

"> > > Most consider "grey market" to
> > > mean ANYTHING not brought into the country (any country where you are)
> > > through the "official" channels for that country..."

I don't believe there is a period after country...or after the ()
either...therefore, the third line would still be part of that same
sentence... ;-)  Yes, I like to use ellipses...

Regards,

Austin
