Leica LTM HU: Leica IIIf on Craigslist NYC

[JCT]

Interesting photo stuff seems to pop up on Craigslist daily around here. I don't know what kind of deal it is... but for any of my fellow New Yorkers...

Price is a bit steep..

Yeah, I wasn't 100% sure, but with the Summitar and *if* it's in good shape there's always hope they will take a lower offer. I would think $400 for all would be not too bad.. My neighbor has a IIIf, it's in lovely shape and she doesn't know what to do with it (it was her Dad's) -- I have to talk her into getting it up and running, drives me nuts to see it sitting there.

Off Topic; I heard that back in 2004 Craig sold Craigslist to Amazon or some big huge company. Anyway, just another reason, I buy and sell here at RFF.

$2.2K "buy now"? I'd want it gold-plated, but I see the Russians can do those cheaper.

$495 - well that`s too high for a normal IIIF Black Dial even if it still had all it`s Nuremberg Post Exchange paperwork
I`d still only pay $250 to $300, now if it was a IIIC "stepper" with some Army history then it`s worth more......

No, It was eBay that invested in Craig's list.

They bought the shares that one of Craig's List's early investors wanted to sell.

What is it about Craig list that changed after this that made you not like them anymore?
