Subject: [Leica] "demos"

Leica USA may be going so far as to sell "demo" items as NEW.  I bought what 
was supposed to be a brand new R6.2 almost 2 months ago.  It arrived with 
fingerprints on the mirror, as well as a faint circular mark around the 
tripod socket and the tell tale marks of winder/drive use.  I had an 
important assignment to shoot so I just clammed up about it and used the 
camera.  Well, about a week ago, just as I was finishing up that assignment, 
the mirror assembly came apart and the whole camera locked up.  I sent it in 
to Leica USA and I just got back a service order (with my name spelled 
wrong, no less).  Why do I get the feeling that Leica USA is on the road to 
oblivion?
