I had saved the story, but not the pics:
"This is the story about this Leica MP camera.My wife is from China and has been in the US for about 3 years. She always ask me why everyone in the US throws-away their old things by putting them on the street for the garbage men to pick up. And being from China they never throw anything away (nothing). One day she was driving by a ladys house and notice she was putting piles of stuff out for the garbage truck. After talking to her, she found out her ex husband for 20 years, had pass away and she flew into the country to sell the house and she had to get ride of all his stuff.She told my wife take what you want. My wife picked threw the stuff and brought about 4 big boxes home.I had been asking her not to bring other peoples junk home.We had just clean out the house with all the other junk she had brought home.(Yard Sale). I notice some cameras in one of the boxes and looked threw the view finder of one, and I could not see anything because the mirror was cracked.The next camera I looked threw the view finder and could see but the auto focus did not work.( Rangefinder ) and it had a funny name Leica MP 253.I had never seen a camera like this, so I did some research on the internet.This brought me to L Camera Forum in Europe.They help me, by telling about the Leica camera and what I might have.They said it could be fake.So they told me about Sherry Krauter.I sent it to her to be CLA and to see if it was not a fake.This was in July.I got the camera back in Sept and found out it was real and not a fake.The lady had already sold the house and flew back to her country.We do not know where.I tryed e-bay, but remember what some one said, that this was a rare camera just to sell on e-bay.So I decided to sell it on RFF both of them.To someone that would appreciate it.Thats why the low price.Sherry has one for sale for 28k on her site.So here it is.
