I recently acquired a very good condition Leica iiig in original case. Attached was the 50mm collapsible summicron with very clean looking glass. Both body and lens are cosmetically amazing. The shutter seems to be sticking at slow speeds and the aperture ring is a little sticky as well. An old timer at a local camera store (Leica "expert") quoted me at $500 for CLA for body and lens. I only need one lens and body, that is my m6. My question is, should I sell as is? CLA for $500 (or less) then sell? And also, how much would it be worth before and after CLA?

I would attach photos but the format seems to have changed since my last upload. Thanks in advance for any responses.
 
For current prices, just check completed auctions on eBay.

As far as the CLA, best leave that to the buyer & sell it as is.

I agree just too much for a CLA. Youxin charges way less than that and has always done a great job for me with a fairly fast turn around time. I don't know what country you are in but he is a great place for US addresses. His website is: http://www.yyecamera.com/
I hope it works out for you. Jim
 
Thanks for all of the responses. I think I am going to sell "as is" as I do not want to fork out the cash for CLA (even if it is far less.) I would preferably trade for an M mount lens of equal value. I am thinking $900 for both as is?
