Shopping for Leica Ms / camera store etiquette.

[Harry Lime]

"knows his clientele well enough to be able to cherry pick the well-heeled dilettante photogs when they come through the door."

That can be a bit dangerous. I have an old geezer that lives near me who would fool him. He dresses like a farm hand. But is worth several million dollars. He has been the nightmare for more than a few store clerks.

Yeah, I saw that happen more than a few times in Los Angeles. You're waiting at the valet of some fancy restaurant and the kid is giving some guy, who looks like he slept in the street, the brush off. Then they bring his Bentley around.

it never fails.
