Subject: RE: [Leica] online used lens price list?

As in 10x the blue book value in some cases. But a collector will pay
$300 for a $30 camera from 1955 if it is in good condition. I've been
known to pay far more for an ebay purchase than what is reasonable after
having a few too many glasses of Zinfandel. And there is always the heat
of battle as you near the end of the auction.

Best Regards,

Jeffery L. Smith
