Congratulations to everyone who has such fun buying & selling Leicas so fast
on eBay and to SHARE THEIR DISTAIN FOR THE GEAR WITH US.

It was  bought and instantly disdainfully sold.
Was a picture taken with it? Printed? Uploaded?

"Did you ever own an M7?
NO but I EBAY'D one in one week!!"



Ebaying must be much more fun than photography.
Maybe I should try it sometime.
