Broken M6 auction, what do you think?

[Steve Bellayr]

Early Wetzlers were prone to meter problems. When they went back to the factory sometimes the Leitz was replaced by Leica. Tom A, as usual, is right...probably not worth the trouble...an excellent ++ M6 for $1200 are common and a good deal.

Thank for the replies guys!

I risked and bet, although I don´t expect to win. Actually, I´m pretty sure this will rise a lot in the final minutes. Everything with Leica on it sells like hell... especially if it´s black! 🙂

Hang on a minute... You're not Japanese!!! 😱
My world is turned upside down! 😀

I just had a look at the auction and here is - in short - what he says:

"Light meter is broken, shutter is gummed up (or resinified), camera has been checked by a "master craftsman" (Meisterbetrieb) in Hamburg, camera is from a household clearance of a relative"

About "Meisterbetrieb", it could be he is talking about "Meister-Kamera" a very high reputed official Leica dealer in Hamburg.

There is also an important information, that this sale is from private and therefore ALL kind of warranty / return excluded.

EDIT: I am not the seller, have no relation to the seller at all but German is my native language
