That might scare off a potential buyer. Nothing personal.

You bought one, never opened the box, and tried to unload it at a $225 loss. Now that is *really* weird. If I were the buyer, I'd think "Lemon!!" Whenever I see a brand new electric guitar, like new, at half the price on ebay, my first instinct is to say that there is something wrong with it, however subtle.

I have a BRAND NEW Zeiss Planar-M 50/2 that I paid $ 824 for....NEVER EVEN opened the box and I have tried to sell it here, photo.net and ebay with NO takers at $ 599.... I think demand for Zeiss stinks based on this...(And I am a seasoned ebayer 9 years, 1342 pos. transactions ) Dan ________________________________ From: lug-bounces+colucci=thehearth.org@leica-users.org on behalf of GREG LORENZO Sent: Sun 5/29/2005 4:22 PM To: Leica Users Group LUG Subject: [Leica] OT: Zeiss Ikon Update With all the hype on the Lug regarding this camera last fall. We now have this from the official web site: 2005-05-24: Shipment information The Carl Zeiss lenses Biogon T* 2.8/25 ZM, Biogon T* 2.8/28 ZM, Biogon T* 2/35 ZM and Planar T* 2/50 ZM lenses have now been available on the market for some time. The demand has initially been higher than the production capacity, but the supply is now in good balance with orders. However the Zeiss Ikon camera body, originally planned for shipments from late May 2005, is now scheduled for serial deliveries to start in August 2005. Additional time has been allocated to further improve the camera in order to meet highest possible customer expectations. The total time for the deliveries of the Limited Edition starting in August is expected to be four months. Deliveries of the Carl Zeiss lenses Distagon T* 2.8/15 ZM and Biogon T* 2.8/21 ZM will also start in August 2005. The Sonnar T* 2/85 ZM is scheduled for start of deliveries in September 2005. We regret the delay but are sure that the Zeiss Ikon camera and the Carl Zeiss T* ZM-mount lenses above will be worthwhile waiting for. Seems like Leica is not alone with product release delays. We've got the Cosina made lenses at least. Regards, Greg _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
