For Sale Nice Leica M3 camera body, single stroke New Price!

Selling this very nice Leica M3 single stroke camera body. The shutter speeds all seem accurate, the viewfinder is clean and clear, the frame lines are nice, bright and clear, the rangefinder is accurate and contrasty. Winder is working nicely. The curtains are nice looking and free from dryness or light leaks. I just put a new leatherette cover on this. The body has no significant dings or dents or scratches. There are some bright marks in areas, see pictures, the pics really make the bright marks stand out, they are not as obvious as it looks but it's good to have a good view of them for the buyer. I don't think it will need a CLA in the near future but it has not had one in years as far as I know, it operates properly at present but is priced so that the next owner could get a fresh CLA and still have a good value. It will come with the Voigtlander labeled body cap shown. Free shipping in the USA, I prefer F&F payment.

What is a F&F payment?

Friends & Family (as opposed to Goods & Services). In other words, it bypasses paypal fees.

What’s covered with PayPal Purchase Protection​

• You bought a book, but received a DVD
• You bought an item described as “new,” but received something that was used
• You purchased 3 items, but only received 2
• The item was damaged during shipping
• The item is missing major parts (that the seller didn’t report)
• You purchased an item described as authentic, but received a knockoff instead

It seems to me that PayPal protection offers one very valuable additional, non-scam related benefit (emphasis added by me)

Hi Matt, thanks, you've saved my ads from too many comments in the past and I hope you can do that to this ad, or let me know and I'll just cancel the ad. I understand that people want the protection of regular paypal but for several reasons "I prefer" to use the other method. By the way Matt, I also consider getting an item to a buyer my responsibility so I've done refunds in the past for things that have either been damaged in transit or not even delivered. (and without the paypal hammer involved). Thanks, Bob.

Hi, sorry I forgot to put the price on the ad. And while I do prefer F&F payments, it's not a deal breaker and I would just ask that the buyer add the 3% fee to the price if using regular paypal. I can say though that I've never been much of a scammer, and never refused a return/refund for any reason, regardless of whether using either method of payment. I live an ethical life...
