Chaemono Posted June 2, 2019 Share #81 Posted June 2, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) They accept PayPal on eBay. You don’t like what you get, you get your money back from PayPal. I don’t see it as risky at all, except that there is likely no US warranty. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Hi Chaemono, Take a look here M10-D for USD 6.4K - is that price real ?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

I don’t see it as risky at all, except that there is likely no US warranty. Warranty is on the product, which is Leica Camera AG in Wetzlar. When cameras fail, they go to Wetzlar, or you send it directly to Wetzlar (faster than any other route). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaemono Posted June 2, 2019 Share #83 Posted June 2, 2019 So, you get PayPal protection and warranty. It’s a no-brainer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucerne Posted June 2, 2019 Share #84 Posted June 2, 2019 And a headache. And no product until it’s sorted. I’ll stick with a U.K. authorised dealer. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkmoore Posted June 2, 2019 Share #85 Posted June 2, 2019 This is a no brainer purchase if you are truly interested in a new M10D. It takes literally 2 seconds to click on the link in the advertisement and you will find that one is being sold directly by Amazon (not 6ave). 5 pages of time wasting = OP was never going to buy the camera anyway 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaemono Posted June 2, 2019 Share #88 Posted June 2, 2019 He wants to buy badly from Leica Soho or B&H Photo at the price Albert Houllou is offering him. I guess, he doesn’t trust Albert. 😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotium Posted June 2, 2019 Share #89 Posted June 2, 2019 I steer well away from things like that. Not worth the psychological energy. In my younger days I tried, got burned every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenykepesz Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share #90 Posted June 2, 2019 i am just a burned child who had made its experiences over the years, that's why one is careful. 47th store is just one example, that caused me quite some trouble at that time. i don't have the kesef to burn, if balagan surfaces later with a sensor, viewfinder calibration, electronics, you name it - and then dealing with such without a proper (international?) warranty in place... i am truly wondering what cameras folks use here in this crowd that promote so much this deal - did they purchase a M10-D or a similar Laica body from Amazon ?

james.liam Posted June 2, 2019 Share #93 Posted June 2, 2019 While I can’t say that I’ve ever bought anything for $6400 from Amazon, there were a few instances when either an empty box was sent or a cheaper item substituted. Amazon credited the amount every time and did so instantly. Your agonizing over nothing is truly pointless. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matlock Posted June 3, 2019 Share #95 Posted June 3, 2019 I have to say that I no longer buy from Amazon. Yes they will always refund if anything goes wrong, but that happens far too often. Also I have found that in many cases the price charged is not always the bargain that it first seemed. Obviously YMMV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucerne Posted June 4, 2019 Share #98 Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Don’t forget that if you are in the UK and order goods from the USA and the price excludes import tax and handling, our Customs will raise a tax charge to be paid before delivery. 20% at least. Amazon USA collect in advance. I received a predelivery notice to pay today. A 50$ item with 11£ to pay before it will be delivered from a local post office. Buying from the USA isnt the money/tax saving ruse it used to be. Edited June 4, 2019 by lucerne Clarity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucerne Posted June 4, 2019 Share #99 Posted June 4, 2019 Breakdown of my US-UK Transaction custom fee. £8.00 handling fee £3.00 duty. Doesn’t seem worth their while to collect, but they do! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
