That is awesome!
There's plenty on that camera that you can salvage to make it worth $980. Like the rewind release lever.
Try the make offer on this listing.

The funny thing is, he'd probably make a couple of hundred pulling the useful parts off and selling them separately.
Damage like that has to be intentional. Someone was mad at someone....
Next year the thread may change to "Wanted $10 roll of film for personal use"
Go check the price of a 36ex of Tri-X. It's no joke.
You broke the code!

Now - keep in mind this thread is about a cheap Leica, not cheap film. Try to stay on topic....
Nah, it's like cars. Expensive cars run on fancy premium high octane gas. Cheap cars run on regular unleaded. Expensive cameras need Portra 400 etc. A cheap camera, like the Leica Eli wants, needs cheap film.

Once the roll is loaded it's between you and your deity of choice what's in the camera.

I'm just lucky that I have found Portra rolls in both 120 and 35mm in my freezer and fridge stash, which is no so very large, after looking at current prices, even for expired film, which is what I have to hand.
No shooting colour films for most of the last few decades, but taking the stuff in for unrealized "future" projects has made this happen and I guess I'll start loading both formats.
Most of the Potra in my 'bag' is fast VC while I prefer the slower 160 NC buy I'll no dare to look this particular horse in the mouth, I'm just glad it's there.
Perhaps it's only a little longer wait, before a couple of bricks of Kodak, will trade for a clean Barnack Leica, no that I have near that much, but yeah, it could happen at some point.
