At this price, one would be better off buying new or a used copy from Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-train Posted August 17 Share #24 Posted August 17 I would happily sell mine for that price! And immediately order a new one from Leica… 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenverSteve Posted August 17 Share #25 Posted August 17 Like NYKV was asking, BEFORE you buy or (especially) order a M11, rent one. MAKE SURE you are familiar with and are fine with the rangefinder. Once you head down the rabbit hole with body, lenses, accessories, you want to make sure you're ready for the rangefinder experience because it's completely different. I would offer a solution - keep your Q3 43 and augment it with a D'lux8 if you only need/want short telephoto. Or buy any system (Leica CL, Sony A7c r..... with a couple of lenses) and use the 43 for 40-90mm use and the other for beyond that. Also remember that you're not going to be going above 135 with an M body because it's a bear to keep still beyond that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdrips Posted August 17 Share #26 Posted August 17 I use mpb.com for selling my cameras here in France. I’ve found them to be quite professional. Used Q3 43 are currently selling for around €6,200 on their site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lencap Posted August 20 Share #30 Posted August 20 (edited) Just a thought - if you are committed to eBay sale, that's fine. But if you plan to buy another Leica there is a very well known Leica dealer that pays up to 80% of used retail price on trade ins if you are buying a new Leica. Considering eBay's nearly 13% fee, and more if you use some of their features, the difference may not be very significant versus your offering price. One other thing - the shipping price you quoted obviously doesn't include insurance. You may be surprised how much insurance costs.

ben446 Posted August 31 Share #31 Posted August 31 I am looking to trade a Q2 (GC, 3-4 batteries, Leica thumb grip, half case) + $ for a Q3 43 if interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouK Posted August 31 Share #32 Posted August 31 On 2/13/2025 at 8:09 AM, Cogito said: It can be hit or miss, but I’ve sold camera gear recently on craigslist (enough to pay for a Q343,) I think old guys are the only ones who still use it, but that’s who might buy a Leica. obviously no shipping and meet in a safe location. let me suggest, since your Q343 has already depreciated, that you hold onto it and use it a little longer. I nearly sold mine after bumping up against some of the limitations of this camera, but now find I really enjoy using it and have made some great photographs. It’s become the camera I take almost everywhere since I don’t have to figure how to kit it out each time. also, because it isn’t an iphone or a blinged out pro camera, people are more at ease when I ask to take their picture. example: this past weekend I flew to north carolina for recurrent flight training and was packing light, only a carry-on backpack, I would never have brought my sony kit, but it was nothing to add the Q343 in a neoprene case to the backpack. I ended up getting great shots of my flight instructor, another cool guy who owned one of the planes we flew, and an 82 year old gentleman who was working in the hangar on the experimental aircraft he built himself. I had a few hours to kill before my commercial flight home and since I had the Leica with me, I took it downtown. I only got one photo I really like there, but enjoyed the time making it. The M11 with a 35 Summarit weighs about the same as as the Q3 and may take up less room. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
