Re: FS: Leica 35 Summilux Asph v1 6 bit coded
Wow, never thought a sale of a lens would result in so much stir! First off, I took the first offer, I do not discriminate. This is an open forum for all, dealers and users and there is no special class attached to a dealer so there is no way to know if the user is a dealer.
Yes, there were a lot of PMs sent within minutes of the post and I took them in order and answered questions. The first user wanted it, just a question on payment terms which I replied to. Second user had questions about the lens and while I answered the question, the first user replied with a confirmation of sale pending payment. In all I had 15 PMs within a half hour for this lens.
As an aside for those of you who are posting WTB listings, maybe have a price listed that you are willing to pay, that may help the process.
In so far as what price to sell for, I did my best to research a correct price, not over inflated and not too low, in other words priced to sell. If a dealer feels that he can buy and turn a profit on it then more power to him. So please do not be hard on the buyer, he is just trying to make a living and I am just trying to liquidate some of my collection at what I feel was a reasonable price.
Thank you to Guy and Jack for providing a place to sell gear in an open and friendly environment.

Oh fair game is fair game.
It would just be cool, when selling something in such demand can go right to the user/enthusiast. Especially when it's at a nice price. Rather than going to a dealer for profit first. That's all.
Ofcourse, this is all up to the seller.
This is just my opinion.
