It was good to see that prices in the iGavel auction were reasonable and a good benchmark for values in future.
I am fed up with the hyperbole and ludicrously inflated Buy It Now prices of some (but not all) online dealers who appear to think anything with Leica or Leitz on it is effectively the Holy Grail and worth its weight in gold.
There was some seriously silly money spent but it was on the genuinely rare items, not the stuff most collectors will ever see. S

My only problem with the iGavel auctions was that
a) I didn't know they were happening and
b) I don't have any money right now.

There were a few things in there I would have really loved, and like you say, it's refreshing/galling to see them go at such reasonable prices. That 90mm collapsible Elmar, for example.... :bang:
