How much for a M6 in Germany?


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

Hello, 

 

I am going to Italy and then Germany in a few weeks and I have been wondering if it it worth it buying an M6 TTL in Europe, specially Germany, over the US. Is it?

 

Looking at e*bay the prices are very similar between US and Germany but a friend swore they were cheaper in Germany, around 800 euros... is that true? Any experience buying an M6 over there?

 

thanks!

I think the prices raised up a little. But its just a feeling because I bought and sold Leicas

for a long time now. Most of them used...... ;)

 

The time before Ebay I just have to look at the announces in the photo magazins

and contact people by phone.

Still possible that way : https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-leica-m/k0

Last week I bought a lens just a few minutes away from my hometown.

Great price and awsome shape !

 

Wish you luck !

Perhaps he changed M6 with M6 TTL.  A regular, M6 in good condition is around 750 to 900 €, I would suggest. A nice  M6 TTL around 1100.- €.

…kleinanzeigen.ebay.de - 30 km from my home.

 

Best,

Hey, sorry for the dumb question but I don't speak german and I was wondering what kleinanzeigen.ebay.de is exactly. I am very familiar with ebay and have used it A LOT over the years but there's nothing like "kleinanzeigen.ebay" in the Americas... Is it a local listing website? that's what it looks like to me. Just trying to understand it... thanks!

I think it´s called classified advertisement? People offer their stuff to other people, private to private person. Where will you stay in germany?

Of course there are a lot of well known dealers beside the official leica dealers, who offer used cameras.

I will be staying in Berlin. and only for a week. Because I am tight on time and the language barrier, I think the best thing is to go to a physical store and get instead of contacting someone over the internet etc...

Visit Leica Meister in Berlin!

 

You might also consider buying an M6 instead of the TTL version unless you need TTL flash metering!

 

Best Theodor
