I just purchased some vintage Leica andLeitz camera, lenses, and accessories out of a local estate. So, take a look at not only this sale, but myothers too and of course save on postage if you win more than one auction andallow me to ship the items in the same box (but if you make multiple purchases, PLEASE wait for a combined shipping invoice so I can get you the correct shippingamount). NOTE: I am not an experton camera equipment of this era but I do have a general workin...g knowledge of moremodern cameras. So, feel free to askquestions.
THIS SALE is for what I believe is a Leica model IIIf andlens. The shutter seems to work fine, even at the slower speeds, but of course I haven’t actually tested it in reallife so I can’t vouch for the accuracy of the shutter. The lens is a Leitz Elmar 5cm. The glass looks good to me with no notablescratches or soiling and the aperture ring and iris work well. It is the collapsible kind of lens, I guessyou’d call it. This model also has thered numbers and it even includes the “Red Synchro-Dial” instruction sheet shownin the photos, along with a leather case, a screw-on metal cover for the cameraand a lens cap. To me the camera is invery good to excellent condition for its age (see my photos). All photos are of the actual item(s) I'm selling (except for stock photos shown from eBay's catalog that may appear in some sales).
I AM ALWAYS GLAD TO DO COMBINED SHIPPING IF YOU PURCHASE MORE THAN ONE ITEM, BUT I MAY HAVE TO SEND YOU A REVISED INVOICE TO LOWER THE TOTAL SHIPPING TO WHAT IT SHOULD BE. IF YOU PAY BEFORE I SEND A REVISED INVOICE I WILL OF COURSE SEND YOU A REFUND FOR THE DIFFERENCE.
IF YOU LIVE IN KANSAS, PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE (I have to collect sales tax). If you don't live in Kansas, you can go ahead and pay or wait for my invoice, whichever you want. In most cases I will send you an invoice within an hour of the time the sale ends. By bidding on this sale (or making a Buy It Now purchase) you agree to the following terms and conditions:SHIPPING IN GENERAL (Domestic and International): I will send you an invoice via the eBay check-out system. You are responsible for all shipping charges (see the "Shipping Calculator"). DOMESTIC SHIPPING: For shipments within the US I will probably get you a quote for Priority Mail and Parcel Select (and/or First Class or Media Mail if applicable), but let me know if you prefer some other type of shipping and I will do my best. LOCAL PICKUP in Topeka, KS, is always available free at no extra cost.INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I use the Global Shipping program. However, on international orders I still quote First Class Mail and/or Priority Mail for shipping to the Global Shipping station (keeping in mind First Class cannot be used if the weight is over 4 pounds or it exceeds certain size limits). HANDLING CHARGES: The cost of mailing materials keeps going up, and I package things well (see my feedback). So, to cover some of these every-increasing costs, and as eBay allows in its rules, I must now include an additional 50-cents "handling charge" on most sales to defray my expenses. PAYMENT and SALES TAX: I am part of eBay's "Managed Payments" system. On sales to Kansas residents I will have to collect applicable sales tax. EBay may also collect other states' sales taxes, but I have no control over that.
CUSTOMS DECLARATION, DUTIES, TARIFFS, ETC.: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up, so do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.RETURNS: Everything I sell is purchased at estate sales, auctions, and other sales, and I am NOT an expert on anything that I sell. So, EVERYTHING is sold AS IS. In some cases I will consider accepting return of an item, but that is in my discretion (but as you can see by my feedback, I have always been fair to everyone I deal with, so please bid with confidence). MISC: I DON'T END AUCTIONS EARLY, and if I didn't list it as a "Buy It Now" item then I don't intend to offer it that way, so there is no reason to ask. If eBay has some sort of problem during this sale, I reserve the right to cancel the sale and re-list the item. If there are props or such in the photo, they are not included in the sale (rulers, display shelves, coins to show size, mannequin heads, etc.). I leave feedback AFTER the buyer leaves feedback. Last of all, this is a second job for me, and I have a job during the day, as well as a family, so I will get back to you as quickly as I can. So, it is a good idea to not wait until the last minute to contact me with questions. THANK YOU! Pay me securely with any major credit card through PayPal!
