Looks like Wex have one for closer to £4k too if anyone was reading this and wanting to try one. 

That’s actually a more reasonable price tag (4-5k) for an M11 body IMO, including new.

And from description

" dent near iso dial, heavy scratching to the rear screen, paint loss to bottom left of the screen."

Who knows what consequence of a blow hard enough to cause a dent will be.

So not 'minty' 😉

Not minty at all but the photos show that the damage is extremely minimal and if the camera is not right, it can go straight back. 
 

For anyone cost conscious that REALLY wants to have an M11, it’s definitely a good price. But it does look like the market on used Leicas is dropping right now. 
 

Off topic somewhat but the difference at WEX right now between a Q and a Q-P make the P almost as attractive financially as aesthetically.

There are very few cases where shooting professionally with Leica is the best financial decision. They are an almost entirely emotional choice. 

This for me 100%… I wanted to use what is IMO the best, for my enjoyment.

I actually find shooting with the Leica M to be the best financial decision. If you buy them used at a good time in the product cycle you never really lose anything should you sell. It’s a freebie, cashflow management more than anything.

I could have a potential opportunity for somebody. The other night I was on MPB UK and saw an M11 for £4329 on there in like new condition. I put in for a trade for next Tuesday but since then I've decided to go in a different direction. Should that purchase complete tomorrow then this option will be cancelled. It's a great price and I'm not sure if it will go back on for the same price but if someone is after this body then it's the lowest I've ever seen. If anyone wants me to give them a heads up as soon as I cancel it (If I do) then let me know.
