Leica MC Prototype 3 on the auction site??

[ChrisLA]

Posting this just because I find it very curious -

There is a new listing on the auction site for the Leica MC Prototype 3, at a starting bid of $95 and a seller (not me) with no history.

This item was in the 42nd Leitz Photographica Auction last June with an estimate of 100,000 to 150,000 euros, and was unsold (https://wlpa.auction2000.online/auk/w.object?inC=WLPA&inA=20220121_1128&inO=126). Photos in the auction site listing appear to be taken from the Leitz auction.

LOL there are two listed...one from Boris in Austria ($128,272 buy it now) and one with the same exact photo set for $98 with three bids. Maybe Boris set the price too high.

Funny! Boris' listing looks legit, actually (authorized Leica dealer with a long Ebay history). I reported the other one.

I've bought from Boris: he's particular about what he sells, even small items that I could afford...

I can't find the other one: has anyone got a link to it?

Looks like it was taken down already.

 

[Ballinderry-Michael]

Yes. I looked for it without success soon after the thread's second post was put up.

Out of curiosity I clicked through the links to Leica M cameras at the 42nd Leitz Photographic Auction. The hammer prices are just crazy.
