[Leica]

[len-001 at verizon.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Hello Seth,

I'm sure Bob will get back to you but two weeks ago I bought a new  
(new old stock) black M6 from my dealer for $1199.00. It has never  
been out of the store and is as shipped from Leica condition with  
box, cards, etc. But it's not a Wetzlar version or a black dot  
version. But I got it for between $150 and $300 less then other on  
line dealers are getting for near mint M6's without the boxes. But I  
admit my dealer treats me very well. As another example he sold me a  
near mint LHSA Black paint M6-TTL .85 in original box with cards etc  
for $1900. KEH wants $2029. for one in EX condition.
