Special Auction '100 YEARS OF LEICA'


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if they offer, in the case, 100 years of deferred payment ;)?

 

Best auction to all and happy Easter!

 

100 years of deferred payment imho is difficult to have, for obvious reasons : our descendants - 3rd or 4th generation - could invoke mental insanity for their ancestor , contest his written will, and refuse to pay... :p one had to establish an offshore trusted fund in favor of Leica Co. for the net amount of due... a complex operation... :cool:

 

On the contrary, I should find that, given that a Leica MP is still produced TODAY, it could be reasonable they give a 100 year warranty for the MP offered at a baseprice of 140.000 Euros (lot 60) ... or, AT LEAST, a 100 year warranty IF it reaches or exceeds the top estimate (300.000 Euros) :D

The Sabre gun stock is there too. I just don't understand who would pay that much for a non-Leica, general purpose item. The description is wrong. I wrote to Peter with the information I posted previously. We'll see if the description changes.

My MP ALC came with a 5 year warrantee, and I believe I've seen print committing Leica to offering parts for at least 30 years. What's another 70 years to a lifeless bit of steel in a cellophane envelope? What Leica should do is find a way to "seed" future repair people. When I was a little kid my grandfather used to buy me toasters and sewing machines and such from the Salvation Army store so I could take them apart and learn how they worked. (As an adult with this knowledge I have saved my family thousands in home repairs, actually proving myself to be useful for something.)

Is that your birth year ;) Lot No. 19 sold for a bargain price so could be a good investment.
