Not to demean Youxin Ye in any way but for $45,000. he could have at least had Sherry or DAG give it the CLA...just saying

I remember about five years ago I missed out on a black paint M3 on eBay by a couple of hundred dollars. From memory it went for $3500.00!

These current prices we're seeing asked are ridiculous!

Yes the uber wealthy are getting kind of anxious, no?

I believe this one just was sold by Mr Ye on eBay for about $14,000; just in the last month or so. Interesting.

As my mom always says, no harm in asking ;-)

Is it just me, or is the planet seriously tilted?

Don't take it out on Leica - it's the idiots/fanboys/rich that make most people here envious

The problem with this definition being that it is easily reframed as 'everyone who isn't me', because I am clever, rational and 'middle class'.

Hey Hicks,

What definition? I wasn't defining anything in my post - are you that superior to know what I was thinking?

So, my post must have hit a nerve with you. Are you one of the aforementioned species that compelled you to respond and start judging me?

Rich - nah, I don't think so.
Envious - maybe - there's a lot to be envious about if I were in your shoes (age, looks, skills, health, intelligence, etc)
Idiotic fanboy - I bite my tongue

Ban me for all I care.

That was exactly the same thing I thought, when i saw it. Initially I thought it was a misprint, and he wants $4500, but since it sold on Ebay for $14000, I know its not, and i find it to be somewhat ludicrous. And if someone has a $45000 to spend on camera, why would they do it off a Craigslist? If it was me, I would use either Tamarkin, or any other reputable seller, but certainly not someone who wants to meet in some bank.
