I came up with $400 for the camera, $380 for the scratched 50mm, $150 for the 90mm and $50 for the flash. That leaves $20 for the rest to make it an even $1,000. I have seen the lens shade and the lens caps sell individually for about $50 each, so, to be fair, I guess that brings the total value t $1,250.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-81354163680753803272015-01-25T10:49:56.476-06:002015-01-25T10:49:56.476-06:00I just took a close look at this outfit.

Considering the shape of the reest of that equipment, I consider it not worth anything more than maybe $1,200.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-25330055149049383362015-01-25T10:44:42.398-06:002015-01-25T10:44:42.398-06:00I have had quite a few dealings through ebay, both...I have had quite a few dealings through ebay, both as a seller and as a buyer.

Does it look like he painted the camera black? I am not too familiar with the history of Leica, but it seems that some of his strangely long description is not too accurate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
