UNDER 2K, Dan, UNDER 2K - And someone just contacted me off list to say
they've recently seen two M3s, recently overhauled by Sherry K, that
were in the mint- to mint category and were selling for about 1K.

No, I wouldn't spend that on a 50-year-old camera. ;-)

There are many people who would consider paying $2500 for a 50mm lens,
or
$2700 for a plain Jane MP or M7 to be equally foolish.    $2000 for a 50
year old M3?   That's considered sane?

Different strokes for different folks.
