Subject: [Leica] Buy a beat-up M-2 for $300.00? What else?

Virtually everything could be shot. But that's unlikely. And maximum damage
could be more than the value of an M2 in today's market. But, again, it's
unlikely that's the case. I'd ask him for a $ back guarantee that nothing is
wrong other than what's included in a CLA and recovering.
