I had brought all my M lenses (which had been bought at their stores) and my credit card. Maybe I'll wait till they appear at La Jolla garage sales. For example, two weeks ago my daughter bought a Leica D-Luxe, new in box, with every goody that came with it, for $100. It was unused! I tried it out too. That was what decided me to get an M8. But I will not buy an unreliable electronic item by mail. My motto now is; NO TRY, NO BUY! No kidding.
