@Moonshine,
I don't think anyone is accusing you of being a "cheat". The problem is, when the seller comes on and alleges a subsequent difficulty with contact, it is difficult for us to draw any sort of conclusion--especially when we only have one side of the story. Some thoughts to consider:
-Leica will repair the sensor free of charge if it is indeed an issue--time is the only factor. In truth, it probably needs a good professional cleaning before one may conclude the issue is corrosion. Leica will do this in the course of an assessment.
-The serial number may also be found on the top of the camera, along the hotshoe connector.
-The actuations, while perhaps more than anticipated, are still not that big a deal--especially if the camera is in excellent cosmetic condition, and is going to Leica for an assessment.
-All that being said, the important thing is that you and the seller are communicating. I hope the two of you are able to come to a mutually respectful and agreeable restitution.
Best regards,
Mark
