Why are there not any bids for this M-4?

[Don Parsons]

Hi Guys,

I'm sorta in the market for a M-4. I saw this one on Evil-Street and have been following it.

My question to those in the know....Why are there any bids? The lens?

Good, I just saw Don was looking at Kim's camera.

You forgot your link here Don, but I don't think you need to risk an ebay transaction with this one available here.

I've seen it Kim....

My problem is I have to build up a little cash first, that's why I'm not bidding on the other one. I don't mind a camera that's been used, especially a Leica. I just bought a Canon L series 100-400. I shoot mostly airshows/airplanes.

I'm just lusting after an M-4 with a 35 and a 90 though.....

I suspect it might be this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Leica-M4-w-Summ...620963495QQcategoryZ73445QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Some of the feedback may be putting people off or they are waiting to snip.

Additionally, there might be no bids because this camera is listed in the

"Listed in category: Cameras & Photo > Film Cameras > 35mm SLR > Leica"

SLR category.
The seller (probably) has little or no clue about what he is really selling, if he is unable to properly classify it as a RF.

True enough. I've seen worse. Like the screw mount lens description guessing the "the lens gets longer when the thing is turned so it must be zooming."

I had no trouble finding it earlier when the link was missing. A search of all categories for Leica M4 brings it up.

We'll know in an hour & a half. Could be a good one that gets away.

Are we at the point yet where it is understood that this is NOT a scam auction and perhaps some here (NOT ME, BTW - really!) might prefer that folks just let the auction take its course?

I sometimes wonder if this is a ploy, a purposeful mislisting to whet the appetite of savvy buyers (or those who think they're savvy). Actually, I was thinking about creating an ebay alter ego: a disgruntled ex-girlfriend of a too-cool-for-school artist/photographer/rock musician, who, in a fit of rage, mis-lists her boyfriends precious cameras.

 

[bobomoon]

well, I guess it's not a ploy. awesome deal!

I never said it was a scam...

I never said it was. I'm trying to learn about Leica's and simply wondered why there were no bids on this camera with less than 2 hours to go. I wondered if I was missing something. That's all..don

Well anyhow somebody got himself a good deal.
