eBay silliness...

[Luddite Frank]

This seller has a skewed sense of humor... supposedly has three offers...

I suspect the "Laser Focus Aid" is pricey... But $500K..... That leaves $480K for the Laser....assuming the modified motor is 10K and the M6/lens/stereo attachment is $10k

he has 3 offers.... I'm guessing under way under $100k

This seller is one of our own. Look up some of the New York meetup / beauty contest threads.

I also own one of those Pentax-stereo-attachments. I sell it for, say, 1000$. Anyone...? 😀

No offense to the member here, but that is not an elegant looking piece of machinery.

the lens is nice, and he did say it shoots more frames per sec than an M10. Hey, I think my M2 can shoot more frames per sec than an M10 too!

For me it's missing something. I think the description needs to say "MINTY", or "NICE!" at the end to be really genuine. Otherwise I'm not sure I can trust that this seller has accurately described the condition of the item. 😱

Cheers,
Rob

His user name here is CNNY. This monstrosity was made for a contest at the NYC meet-up a few days ago.

I've held that kit in my own two hands. It is worth far more than the asking price. Why, the Linhof cloisonne emblem alone is worth hundreds, the laser pointer is unique, the bubble level something one cannot live without, the stereo attachment plus a second camera gives one quadraphonic images....
Kudos to Chris for this frankenleica!

Thanks for all the encouragement. Best offer so far was $50. Perhaps I should add a note that the auction is only for the used Rite-Aid batteries, camera not included.
I have to admit that the rig is mostly dismantled already, with the M6 and Summicron going back into regular service. That is until someone posts a serious bid, in which case I will stick it all back with copious double sided tape.
