Leica M3, over 1 million, CLA'd last month. From YY:

"Cleaned and lubricated mechanical parts, adjusted shutter speeds and brake. Cleaned and adjusted finder. Camera is in good working condition with clean and clear finder, smooth winding now. Replaced the broken back door cover to new, put a body cap on your camera.
I noticed the end of long curtain has some aging problem, when you use the camera, you should cock the camera before taking photos. Do not leave the camera cocked long time without taking photos. Since over long time wrapped on shutter drum, the aging curtain material may stick to the shutter drum, resulting inaccurate speeds.
Best regards,
Youxin Ye"

The long curtain has an aging issue, which I never noticed. I'm hoping the CLA fixed this, but I'm not sure. That's why I'm offering this camera at the ridiculously low price of $550, that's all in, including paypal fees, shipping, insurance, everything! I had a blast with this camera, and I'm a little sad to see it go; but I have too many cameras, and too few lenses. 30 cameras and 40 lenses? That's nuts, I need 6 cameras and 200 lenses. I digress.. now to photos



I'll accept returns for most issues, any issue actually except for the aging shutter curtain. It never bothered me, I didn't even notice until I sold it, and accepted a return because of it (full refund of course) and now that I'm aware, you're aware, you're buying this camera knowing it has the issue. Any other reason for return is still fine, within 2 weeks of receipt.

Thank you!

I might have missed it - have you stated a price for it?

Edit - oh you have! I saw the 200 lenses comment but missed the sale price! (you might wanna highlight it?)

Too bad I'm perpetually broke. The life of an adult is increasingly giving me these options that I can't pick up on such as this. I am sad now. The best deal I've ever seen on one of these in a while.
