Digital Leica M8 / M8.2 / M9 / M-E /Mono / M10 aka "M" Discussions about the Leica M8 /M 8.2 / M9 / M9-P/ M-E / M Monochrom / M10 aka "M": Leica digital M mount rangefinder cameras. Naming the new digital M the "Leica M" is VERY unfortunate as it will only confuse newbies with other Leica M cameras of the the past. Happily there is room for confusion with only the past 59 years of Leica M production ... since Leica introduced the Leica M system in 1953. All Hail for the Leica Marketing Department learning Leica M history!

It's a hijacked account and a scam. Stay off of eBay if this isn't obvious to you

Seller is shoe company. Either they found on roadside container with new M9's and do not know real value, or there's pitfall - like they "forgot" to tell this are display samples without innards.

That looks a lot like a hacked account to me. Item description says "Freezable Mug" "Team: Green Bay Packers"...

They also have S2's, D3x's, D3s's, D800's, and 1Ds III's all for the exact same price! I just ordered one of each and gave them an extra $1000 for rush shipping! I expect everything to arrive via teleporter tomorrow morning at 9:00 am!

I've reported the item to eBay (using the built-in report system - I was able to use only an approximate description of what's the problem with the listing, though, there being no exactly matching options). As a regular eBay user, I don't like having scammers on the site.

Very expensive Green Bay Packers freezable mug.

The use of Leitz this late in history is unsettling also.

It hardly needs debating - the request to conduct the transaction outside eBay is all the warning sign you need, as it openly contravenes eBay rules and means the buyer has no protection.

I'm glad to see no-one seems to have been foolish enough to bite... although for all we know he could have sold his "camera" eight or nine times already!

When forced English sticks out of a seller's otherwise "normal" style (read: the "voice" is different), it's a huge red flag most likely indicating a hijacked account.

Here's a Nikon D700 Dallas Cowboys money clip/money holder:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nikon-D70...item1c27ab8f99



Compare with style of any other item in that eBay store:
