[Leica] Half frame M 4-2

[frank.dernie at btinternet.com (FRANK DERNIE)]

I have once bid on a private auction which I won after
being bid up above my highest bid then having the
higher bid cancelled. I accepted the sale, I was happy
with the price, but always was suspicious that
something suspicious had taken place but had no way to
check. I have never bid on a private auction since and
willnot.
This auction was held by a dealer with plenty of
feedback and all his auctions were private.
