I did not once ask to see the store manager or make a scene at the store. If they file a defamation lawsuit, then I have witnesses and receipts with time stamps. People complain about stores and corporations all the time.Дў. It's not so much as a complaint as I want people to know if they ever go there to do any trade ins.ДЎ. I understand the frustration and I probably would not have waited the four hours.

If that was the owner you should have calmly voiced your disatisfaction privately with him or at least written a letter to him afterward.ДЄt this point you have put yourself at a disadvantage by nuking your bridges. You should have politely asked for the store owner. Please register or sign in to view the hidden content.It's poor form to vent in public like this. This is not true, I can get good group discountВ price from B&H than the normal price you saw.В For example, see the attachment I just grabbed fromВ B&H. Anyone who has a tight dealer relationship mightВ have to shoot you after confiding. SomeВ dealers have ways of discounting gear by offering mint demo or similar, but buyer beware oneВ needs to be savvy, and careful, in choosing dealers and вЂdealsвЂ™. New Leica gear is supposed to be sold and advertised at list price. One can always be assuredВ that an M9-based camera will never be sold without a non-corroding sensor, or an S lens without the current AF motor, etc.В Chasing the lowest price can be a foolвЂ™s game. At Leica Miami, for instance, one might pay more, but they generally send used gear to Leica or DAG (a trustworthy third party Leica repair specialist) before sale to ensure optimal working order, and then offer commensurate warranty (store and/or Leica). Though you might get extra service if you paidВ non-grey market price.Дealers have different standards and requirements for selling used Leica gear. It doesn't matter whether it's grey market item or not. If there is problem, you can send to any authorized Leica dealer or just send (LeicaВ N.J if you are in US) by yourself. Leica told me all new Leica items carry the same world wide warranty.

Not sure I can apply the same argument, though. This low price/low grade batch story has been told on Canon, Nikon, too. I checked that message with Leica N.J, Leica told me 'Leica has only one grade over the whole world.' The Leica rep also joked: ' We don't have enough volume for that practice!'. I actually heard before the first buying that if it hasВ lower price, indicates that is from the low grade batch supposed to sold in some low income countries (Africa, South America). I was suggested by Leica service at N.J, that if I couldВ register it, there is no need to worry. After I paid, I opened the camera (or lens) immediately and registered to the Leica official site. The first few times I bought from them I had the phone ready to connect to Leica Germany. I'm just guessing folks here don't always pay MSRP for Leica (I've seen people compare them to Porsches, and well, you don't pay MSRP on a Porsche usually).so,wondering what good prices to offer are on new and used gear, if there is a % of MSRP that would give you a good deal and let dealer still retain enough of their markup. Given that the HK has those prices for new M10 Mono, would those be reasonable to offer to the US sites?ДЄny thoughts on this site I found, Classic Connection in CT? IN shipping to the US, do customs add foreign tariff taxes to it at port I wonder?

New M10 Mono price appears to range from USD $7,314.3-7,790.8ДЄ couple questions tho.how trustworthy is it buying off one of these sites? LOL, I went to the HK site and guessed they had a switch to Language for English, I finally found it. My personal experiences, KEH usually has used items with lower price, but whenВ the price are about the same, the first three stores usually haveВ better quality. So checking both prcie before you go.ДЇor used, I like Leica SF, B&H, Adorama, and KEH.В Leica SF is a branch of Camera West, but Camera West sells other brands too. usually has brand newВ Leica or Hasselblad items withВ the price about 60~80% of B&H, but not always.В Some items can be more expensive, for example, Hasselblad XCD 45mm F4P is HK$ 11000 while it is only US$1099 in US (any authorized store). For brand new, I usually buy from (many choices, see their rating).
