Depends on the cost they ask.  A new IIIf BD can be had in decent shape for
$500 and a RD for $700.  (I never keep my IIIf's -- I always end up giving
them away as my IIIc better suits me.)

But a IIIg? E-Bay has reduced their prices dramatically, from close to
$2,000 to around $1,000.  But, if I have a choice of a forty or fifty year
old camera for close to a grand, or a brand new Leica IIIg at, say, $3,500
... the wheels DO start spinning!
