[Leica] For the Very Rich and Exquisitly Stupid

[bdcolen at earthlink.net (B. D. Colen)]

True. But those are the same people who would purchase a Yugo over a
Toyota saying, 'a car is just a car, so why not buy the cheapest one out
there.' There's a big difference between thinking that one has to be a
bit tetched to pay a premium for a camera with a little flag on it, and
think that one has to be a bit tectched to pay a premium for a camera
that will, quite literally, last a life-time.

Many people would consider paying normal Leica prices pretty stupid.

He may be a bona fide, even an honest dealer.  Nonetheless, I still say
that paying at least US$3,775 a piece for eighteen M7s with flags
printed on them is exquisitely stupid.

Even if I'd never give such an outrageous amount of money to (a set of)
camera(s), I can state that this seller is bona fide. I've bought other
stuff from him at a good price and what he sent me was perfect and as
described.
