Have a look at eBay sale no. 310390468180.

Obviously rigged, private sale and currently USD 112.50

It's a de-chromed and re-engraved Industar-22, posing as a Gold Elmar...

The seller says it is a Russian copy and still the bids come in, caveat emptor.

I've got one silver that came with my FED. It must be made out of platinum...

It finished at...$237.50 with 23 bids.
Yikes! I think it must have been this in the description:

(emphasis added)
Seems like a good price for that unreserved admiration...

I'm unreservedly admiring the courage of bidders, but above all the "courage" of the seller...

Tomorrow, I will remove all the chrome finish from my Kiev-4 outfit... it will turn into a "Gold" Contax-Copy, worth at least 3.000,- Euro!... And I will receive the unreserved admiration of everybody around me!
