Well, the clicks won't be coming from the same ip address if everybody is sensible enough to limit their clicks to only one or two.

nzeeman, if you use the camera and post pictures -- that would be enough for me. putting a quality instrument in the hands of an artist who needs one is its own reward.

i know that but i kept these sites as a secret even from a best friends because sometimes people have good will to help but make mistakes and account get banned. google company is pretty extreme with their rules. they even block if click through rate is too high - so it doesnt help if you visit and click immediately - it looks suspicious to them - and they just wait for it.
so thanks a lot all you people are really good to me - i really appreciate all your help - but ill try to play fair, and i also dont want to involve other people in cheating.

Good for you! you are a stand-up young man. Be patient and work for the camera of your dream. When you knew you've worked hard for it, you'll feel a different kind of satisfaction when using something, cameras included.

i think i will leave buying bessa r for some day in future. i just cant justify spending 200$ on it now and i dont think i will become better photographer with R.

I don't know. Of course there is always the hardship school of photographers that say that there is nothing you can't do with a Leica II (or Zorki-1 for that matter). But then again, convenience isn't a bad thing that somehow makes photography worse, but an added value that makes it easier to concentrate on what picture taking is all about.
For me, I think the Bessa has moved me forward in comparison to the FSU cameras I was using before, mainly because it became much more convenient to take pictures, because I could just take the camera with me and have everything I need, and because I didn't need to bother with extra accessories such as light meters and external finders. And the great Bessa viewfinder allowed me for the first time to frame pictures while taking the environment outside the frame into consideration. So I think it is worth it, even though it's a lot of money.
I would say just take the time and save a little money. Put $10 on the side every now and then and wait for an occasion, and eventually there will be someone here or somewhere else who offers the right thing at the right moment. After all, rangefinder photography is all about decisive moments, and this applies to camera purchases just as well as to picture taking.
(And please do forward me that link to the site of yours, I'd at least like to have a look at it.)
