Perhaps the worst Leica copy ....ever

[iñaki]

marketing test for a new product?

If it is sold, it open up a lot of opportunities!

Please, take a look at the link in the first post: SOLD for 253 € 😕
Here we say "cada minuto nace un tonto" in english it should be something like "every minute born a dumb" 😀

This made my day 😀

That is amazing.

£171 for a FED3 must be some kind of record. Does anyone have the number for McKeowns?

I bet the seller can't believe their luck

A true english translation is "There's one born every minute" I wonder if the local cobbler will engrave my Feds!

So the 3b and Industcron combo sold for a premium price. EPay is an amazing.

And the buyer was British! We still lead the world in one thing!

 

[Silva Lining]

Can just imagine how excited the buyer is - "He do you realise i just got a Leica for less than £200!!!"

Can't imagine how gutted he will be when he finds out he has just bought the most expensive FED in history

 

[Jocko]

And tomorrow he'll join RFF to share his good fortune and find out more!

I feel a cry coming on.... 🙁

Excuse me but I think I'll go "rework" the Fed-5 I intend to sell soon 😉

 

[darkkavenger]

It's easier to fake the Fed-5 front plate... I'll try to work on it 😀

Front plate : Leica 5M
Back : LEICA FED - USSR OCCUPIED GERMANY

The rivers turn to blood, cats and dogs living together, black is white, up is down, our dreams are the true reality, and OUR Leicas are the true fakes.

Oh well back to work 🙂

I bought a genuine FED on Ebay once and got a contax III fake in the mail. Hows that for luck?

 

[Silva Lining]

Its Back !

Alhough seler acknowledges it as a Fed 5 this time, Still got a Summicron lens though, honest!

Classic!!!

I missed this the first time round, but, looking at those photos - my face is cracking into giggles.#

If it was £5 I'd buy it and see how many non-geeks would clock it as a fake...

Hmmm,

The original seller did not leave any feedback on that particular sale.
The buyer did not leave feedback for the seller either...

Buyer may have send it back having noted (being told probably😛 ) it was fake.
That is why it is now sold as a probable copy.

If so, it would a rare example of an eBay mis-trade that hasn't ended in a flurry of angry red minus feedback comments......

It's been a while since I've smiled this much,GREAT deals are just so hard to pass up.

 

[Scarpia]

I would buy it except for the fact that I am a little short of money since I bought the Brooklyn Bridge last week. The price was right and it will be worth a lot more in a few years.
