The lies about the dealer offering me a Gray Market Leica. He
did not!  Just offered to keep the Passport paperwork. As I said,
I opted to buy a used item instead, at about half the list price, and
from the same dealer.

Unfortunately, the dealer is not in my town, 'cause his prices are
pretty good on used Leica and Rollei gear.  I hate driving North
to LA though.
