192 Bucks! and the clock ain't stopped ticking on this auction. Expensive 2 pieces of aluminium!

Let's do the math: 10 of these pins are worth a brand new M6 TTL? 12 of these pins are worth a brand new 75mm Summilux, or a brand new M7. 14 of these pins are worth more than a brand new 50mm Noctilux.There sure are some people desperate for pins. I hope it's not another "let's bid up the price" eBay modus operandus.
Compared to all that, Leica cameras are a bargain.
Yawn.

If Leica finds out people will pay almost $200 for these things, I suspect that you'll see them in their next catalog for around $50-60 a pop. Especially if it works as well as Tom's. They do know their market.Jerry

Geez. I figured maybe $ 50 at the most! $ 192+, there are some people who want one an awful lot. But you can get an original and much more elegant Leitz Wetzlar chrome soft release for $ 50 or less. Maybe even as low as $ 20-25. The new one isn't nearly as nicely made or engraved.

Laugh all you want, but I'd give 20 bucks, or 20 quid for that matter, if someone handed one of those to me. It cool, real cool!
