Heads Up Leica m2-R

[PentHassyKon]

BTW, add is now showing up in the Orange County craigslist - seller is now asking for $500 in the ad

Wish I'd had $500! Somebody scored a major coup. It just got pulled from Craig's List.

Actually you are mistaken about this. The early M2s and a few later ones were the only M2s that did NOT have the self timer; otherwise the M2 + self timer was the standard M2.

FWIW, many think the early M2 w/o the self timer and with the rewind lever is the most beautiful M. Rather like a meterless MP w/o the battery cover.

I agree that the M2 button rewind is the most beautiful and cleanest M.

Well folks, I decided to pursue this, and am now convinced this is a scam.

The "Seller" wrote back accepting my decision to buy, and said she needed my full name and contact details. She explained that the transaction would go through EBay, allowing me a 3 day examination period of the Goods, and an option to return the goods if I was not satisfied.

I sent her my name and address.

Well I just got an email, advising me that a "Transaction Agent" would be the Intermediary.
She advised I should send a "moneygram" (an emoney transfer) for $1500 to the Agent, a man's name and address in London, UK. The "Seller" noted is a woman's name, address in White Falls, MT, USA.
None of the EBay or other links on the email work, and one is invited to contact the seller with any questions.

Hi,

The address in London would be interesting, especially the post code.

Regards, David

There's one in the Classifieds here now.
