is this camera worth $1200?

[anorphirith]

That's an M6 TTL with the winder thing
there is some wear on the back, the seller says it's from taking it in and out the leather case. he also mentioned that he used this camera as a back up from another M6 TTL he also has for sale for a little cheaper

Meleica's site http://antiquecameras.net/leicamcameras.html
has the M6 TTL at $ 1200-1500 in exc condition.
Hope this helps...however, with the M9 now out, I bet all older models drop in price a bit more... :>

isn't the winder worth something ? I've seen it go for $300+ on eBay, that would make the M6 $900

If you want the winder (I don't) then it is a good deal.

If fully functional, then I would say yes. I payed around ~1200 for mine and sold it for around ~1100. No winder. So yes, a good deal.

M6s, not TTLs have been going for $900 up in the last few months that I have followed them -- both here (RFF) and craigslist. I am not aware of the price differential, but if some one is, you can adjust -- plus there's the winder.

bought it, i'll see if it was a mistake soon

If it works it is not a mistake.

If except for the cosmetics the camera is working 100% OK, a very good deal I would say.

Looks like a good deal to me, you'll know more when you have it in hand.

That's a deal! I wouldn't sell mine for less ;-0

Wear on the camera's back from putting it in its case and taking it out? With what is the case lined?

Was probably banging on a belt buckle or something. I wouldn't worry about the cosmetics, it's a great camera and if you don't need the winder you'll have it at an excellent net price. I sold mine sans winder for $1150.
