I'm thinking with a CLA this is a good deal.

Or as they say in the East <MINT +++++> no haze no fungus there is some wear
Please note the strap lugs are perfect so no danger of fall damage.
On the flip side, the mount can be whatever you want so no expensive conversions needed for Canon dream Lens 50 f/0.95...

To be fair, it's in slightly better shape than this M6:

So, someone is asking $980 usd for a completely trashed M3 and we expect a brand new bargain priced M body?

They may as well be asking $1M for it - just as realistic!

That will buff right out!

 

Years ago I bought a trashed M3 with no inner workings (no shutter or rangefinder).  It was sold as an ashtray.  On the outside it still looked nice, unlike the example above.  I think I paid about $30 for it.

Is there anything in particular I should be concerned about?

[madNbad]

Someone bought it! Ad sates best offer accepted. 

[Huss]

Le sigh.  I always miss out on the good stuff.

Of course with all the heavy advertising done here, it was a steal.

I made a cheeky offer of $970. I'm hoping there isn't any dust in the viewfinder.

That is where I draw the line.
