Yes, a lot of items by that seller do not seem priced to move. I especially like seeing these beat-up black Leicas that sell for a small fortune. I'll admit there is a wabi-sabi beauty to looking at them but pictures are enough for me.

Would that hood mount on a Jupiter-11? Could make a great set-up! 😉

Those are just ridiculous. That B&H one is interesting. Are they selling that on commission? Seems like they would know better. 😕

At least the B&H one is going for a more reasonable price. Black M3s ARE rare...but I don't think anything short of a perfect specimin should go for $14,000.

Edit: Never mind...for some reason I neglected to see it was an M4 and thought it was an M3.

Eh...yeah...but the ebay one is a black M3 and the B&H one is a black M4.
Not sure how you can compare.

The prices on either of them doesn't seem unrealistic (the eBay one may be about 3,000 too high in this market though as I've seen more and more black M3's - in this condition - for sub-10,000 these days).

If memory serves he first listed this camera in the spring of 05.
Still trying to get the same price... 😱
