Fair price for a CLA'd M3 link

[former member]

I was thinking about the deleted thread. I did not see it, but...

I would choose Canon 7 as King, Leica M3 as Queen, Nikon SP as Bishop, Retina IIIS as Rook, and Contax IIIa as Castle. The Canonet QL17's would be Pawns. Chess Anyone? I get Black...

EDIT: If there were Princesses in Chess, They would obviously be the Canon P.

I don't know what that guy had to buy his wife for their anniversary, but he should have sold a kidney before the M3. Two kidneys, one M3 - pretty easy call if you ask me!

Jeeez - Where can you get $1400 for a kidney, I want a Canon P and it looks like they are going to be up that high before I find one. (I have 2 kidneys and use them every couple of hours all night long, maybe with only one I could last four hours) 😉

Peter Dechert quoted Jim Mckeown in Peters fine book "Your Canon is worth whatever your most generous prospective purchaser is willing to pay. If you cannot find a purchaser .it is worth nothing"( Just replace Canon With Leica ) ....although i would still think it is worth a bit to the owner ,if only as a fine piece of image making machinery as there ever was.

there is a very nice p on ebay now.
be patient and you should find a nice one for 300 or so. maybe a bit more if you're less patient.

how do you spell this kind of patient? is this correct or someone who sees a doctor?

The Argus C44 would be the Jester. That Lens Mount!

The guy who's selling the M3 (in the aforementioned photo.net thread) is completely full of cr@p, IMO. My B.S. detector went off and the meter almost went off the scale! (Maybe I have the sensitivity set too high, I dunno!)

1.- He received an "unexpected bill" with regard to his 10th anniversary?! What, he didn't see it coming? What did he think, she'd have thrown him out long before their 10th?

2.- Sherry Krauter "hand picked" this M3 just for him! What does she do with other people, machine-pick the bodies? Maybe a chimpanzee picks them for other people?

3.- She hand-picked this one because "she knows what I like". Puhleeze! What is he trying to say, that he's an experienced Leicaphile? A collector? If that is true, then I wonder just what is wrong with this special, hand-picked M3 that he's dumping it so fast? And don't remind me that he's selling it because of his unexpected bill for his anniversary....
