Sold Leica M8 in Craigslist. It is about 3 weeks now.
The buyer today emails me stating -
I have been focussing issues with the camera - and had it sent to Leica in New Jersey to have it evaluated for problems - and there were quite a few - nearly 600 dollars worth.
I know there is no return policy through craigslist - but the camera and photos sent to me from it didn't portray that there was misalignment with the focussing prism, and i do have small claims as a recourse (something I am not looking to do).
But I would hope that we can come to an agreement - because this cost will now bring the camera to 2900. Your original price of 2500 is the asking price for pretty much any m8 in mint condition from a reputable dealer - i am comfortable leaving our price at that - but I would ask for a 400 dollar refund (i would be pleased to send you the estimate when it arrives - most likely by tomorrow or early next week) to cover the difference I am paying.
I responded by offering to pay for the focus issue provided it is done by Sherry Krauter. I don't believe it cost $600 that Leica NJ claims.
What else should I do if the buyer refuses my offer?
