It appears to be a scam. My french is not good at all, but a scam works in any language.

Whoever initiated this scam is an idiot ... $1700.00 for an M9! 😛

I put in a bid. couple of bucks. If it sells for that, I'm gonna sue him to get it 😀

This is a hacked Ebay account, we saw several of these scams recently, the scammers are certainly working at full force these days...

Be patient!

Be patient!

I am prity sure that less than half a year ahead the first M9s will appear as 2.hand sales. The first ones should be right around the corner. This one smells of scam. In France there is a large Leica community of liquid buyers that are willing to pay close to new price. There is no reason to put such a camera up on an EBay auction.

"Contact me at my personal email as I cannot read ebay mail". Ha Ha.

Why not report this to E-Bay right away?

 

[elshaneo]

Already done that my friend, but Ebay always take their time to do what should be done 😛

Now if it had been a Leica M10, I would have been even more suspicious.

SLR = Single Lens Rangefinder or is it Super Leica Rangefinder

 

[elshaneo]

The funny thing is that there are smart scammers but also dumb ones 😛

But the sad thing is that there will always be someone who would believe that this scam is genuine instead...

 

[Tracnac]

Ah ok it's what I thought... (That's good I not so bad in english...)

Yvan.

Aaaand the auction is gone. Drat, I wanted to see what an M9 SLR looks like. 🙁

Actually, as Olsen counsels above, I just need to be patient. As soon as my 8.64 million USD comes into my account from the "Toyota International Internet Lottery" I won this morning, I can buy all the M9s I want!🙄

I already had too many SLR's; Canon A-1, the AE-1 and the EF, so I passed on this. I had no idea what the mount would be.. LTM? 😀
