[Leica] Screwed by KEH / lookikng for an alternative

[summarex at hotmail.com (Javier Perez)]

I can't believe this. 
I placed an online order for a non working Minolta CLE. I paid with my card 
and checked out fully expecting to get the camera in about two days. 
Instead I get a note from KEH the next day or the day after saying that the 
ca,mera had been sold. I complained that I was the one it should
have been sold to and I tell tham that I witnessed the item disappear from 
their stock list immediately after I placed the order. I get back an 
argumentative letter. It sez the camera was ordered on line an hour before  
but goes back on the stock list or stays on it because of a computer 
glitch. To make things worse, they acknowledge that they give preference 
phone orders over online orders. 
 
I can't believe that an outfit this pricey would have done this to me. I 
don't even know if I believe their excuse. I've been dealing with these 
people
longer than I can remember and this is what I get for it. I shoulda 
suspected somethingf was amiss a few months back when I ordered an as is 
camera 
and I got a receipt without a serial number printed on it! I can't even 
prove I bought the thing!
 
Anyway I was wondering if any of you guys know of outlets besides ebay where 
I might get a decent selection abt better prioces than those KEH people.
Every place I used to buy from is closed!
