Breathe deep...
Ok, I'm putting up for sale my black M9. I can pontificate on the status
of the media and finding any work in it later but for now I need to
find a real job.

I bought it October of 2010.
Bottom plate has a brassy ring around the edges. There is a small
impact mark on the bottom plate as well; opposite side of the lock.

Camera returned from Leica NJ with a new sensor during
the last week of January 2012. Camera actuations = 8151.
OEM warranty is still good through October of this year. I can send it
out to Leica NJ for the CLA + warranty extension if the prospective
buyer were to pay for it. About an extra $400 USD.

Viewfinder is very crisp, clear and accurate. The red dot had its paint
removed and is a nice brushed steel dot now. The M9 white paint flaked
out the week I bought the camera.

Camera will come with 2 OEM batteries and 2 aftermarket batteries.
Charger is the old M8 charger but not to worry, there is also a Belkin
Dual charger with 2 new Leica M battery adapter plates included.

Other stuff that is included:

Thumbs-Up CSEP-1.
Match technical Beep soft release.
16GB Transcend Class 10 SDHC card.

I'm asking $5000 + insured shipping with direct signature confirmation.
If in the greater Philadelphia area (to include Washington DC,
Baltimore, and NYC) I can deliver the camera most likely. 
I might consider some partial trades but I really just need to make the
hard decision and take the money. I still have two beautiful film
bodies that I can use.

Hopefully I'm making the right choice. Feel free to weigh in and talk
me in or out of it. I thank you all and respect your opinions.

Regards,
Phil Forrest
