Want to Buy Wanted $10 Leica rangefinder for personal use. CL Found.

[Steve@f8]

Look, I’m going to up Eli’s bid.... how about $11?

 

[ic-racer]

I'm going to be the winner of this thread. Once I buy my Leica I can declare it to be any value on my insurance. If I use $9.00 I'll win.

But WHY????

Give the man a Leica for 10 bucks... do us all a big favor. LOL.

No way! He doesn't even deserve a Leica.

Every man (generic term, no specific gender intentionally implied or specified) deserves a Leica… it is a basic human right, after all.

Not every man, especially the OP who deemed a Leica is only worth $10. That's less than a disposable or a Lomo. You don't deserve something you don't have great respect for.

A Leica can cost $10 if you buy it, use it, then sell it for $10 less than you paid. Consider it renting.

Probably a bit over the price you are looking for, but still a Leica

This will drive me nuts. I swear my sister gave me a wooden Leica. Handcrafted from different colored hardwood. Now I don’t remember where it is or if I have a picture of it but it’s going to drive me crazy until it turns up.

I can just imagine the eBait ads on one of those...... "Genuine, rare, mint wooden Leica camera in Exc+++ condition. No scratches, no fungus, a few small flying termites"

In such a case a Leica can cost you a negative amount. You could possibly buy one, use it a while and resell it for more than what you paid for. Yes that is true but a Leica isn't worth $10.
My brother bought a Leica IIIa at GoodWill for $25 ($25 and not $10). He took a few rolls with it and sold it to a camera store salesperson for $800.

 

[Bill Burk]

In this thread OP is hoping to give a good home to a Leica that isn’t being used. It’s not that weird of a request - wouldn’t we all want that?

I wonder what lens was on it to make it worth that much?

He's asking here. It's like asking a bunch of wolves if they can spare some raw meat.

I don't know but the guy that bought it knew a lot about it. Much more than my brother.

Exactly. Probably the most unlikely venue to produce the desired result. Here - lets try this: I'd like to offer anyone $20 for a Pinkham & Smith Visual Quality No. 4 lens for personal use. Just watch the offers roll in.

 

[AnselMortensen]

Yes,
And I'd go $40 for a mint Struss Pictorial lens.
Not picky about FL.

 

[4season]

I figure $40 sounds about right for a Ducati Sogno with 35/3.5 Vitor lens, or a 50/1.9 Alpa Switar.

 

[Huss]

Fall bump.

 

[choiliefan]

Just in time for color film through a Summar lens.

 

[Huss]

I just had a roll of Fuji C200 developed. Lovely film. Develop only cost me $8.12 and that was with my membership discount.
