$6500?

I would approach a Leica specialist and consult with them over a commission-based sale.

A lot of those people will be in touch with collectors and others who may be interested in a private sale without going to auction.

If I owned it I wouldn't sell it yet - that's a pension there in twenty years, potentially.

I would be surprised if you only got $6500 - that's only £4k and normal MPs go for around £2k alone.

But this is just a normal MP that's a bit gussied up on the outside, it's really nothing special apart from the cosmetics. Once you bash it up a bit it's just another MP.

Ultimately, I would like to get a black paint 35 Summicron asph since I like the 35 focal length on this body the most...

Just to reinforce the idea that you should keep it... 😉

Blast! You would have to show me that..🙄

Headed out and about, MP3 in tow...

Wow, wow, wow !! A 35/2.0 ASPH in BP on that camera ... 😎


About selling a slightly brassed MP-3, I could imagine that the value (possible selling price) also depends a lot on the location, will say that selling the camera in Japan, Singapore or HK could easily fetch a premium over selling it from / to US... (Just food for thoughts)

I can confirm that Leicas tend to bring in a premium in collector-oriented markets like HK
