I don't know what you would offer him but if the Black M2 is the real deal, 
I'd offer him some cash for his obselete old camera. A few bucks for 
electricity, some cd's, a replacement hardrive... a backup service.

If he bites shoot with that BP M2 like you stole it! (Personally, I'd smile 
like a Chesire Cat every time I pressed the shutter!)
