Anyone any idea how to start looking?

All kinds of shops sell used Leica gear online. In Germany you need to look around, to find the best offer. shphoto, leicabeimeister, and several others offer a wide range of cameras, lenses, and alll kinds of conditions - typically overpriced (add 30%) compared to private auctions. With the dollar being really low, you should also consider buying in the US, shipping is not that expensive, but you need to add 19% tax/customs duties. Look at KEH, kurlandphoto (they also have an ebay shop), etc.. Also check out world wide ebay shops. Private auctions may be suspicious, but several shops online are trustworthy at reasonable prices - also use ebay to consider which offer is reasonable in which is overpriced. Especially the R6.2 is highly regarded and you pay the price for it even used.
