Where are all the Ricoh GR-Ds (v. 1) ?

I have been looking to buy a Ricoh GR-D (version 1) for a while, looking on ebay, etc. Where can I find one? I am looking to pick one up before my trip in a few weeks...
Thanks!

-Sam

I have a GRD II I'm about to sell. Its in like-new condition... rarely used. If you're interested in the 'II' model, let me know and I'll give you a price and more specifics.

Yes, I'm in London and will be selling mine at some point. It's indistinguishable from new - I think you'd really have to shoot it to get any sort of wear out of it.

Don't think I still have box, but have charger, manual, leads etc. plus I bought the filter attachment + hood and a spare battery.

I gave mine to my grandson for HS graduation with the admonition to never sell it. I used it almost always in BW mode, 400 ISO as digital Tri X. I think a lot of people have a hard time selling theirs. It is a great camera. Ricoh knows how to set up a small camera to make it simple.

@principe azul : Check your PMs

@jwcat : I agree with your rationale. I used to own one and only sold it because I was not a good enough photographer at the time to appreciate it.

Maybe, because, like mine, they're broken...

So is mine; cracked lcd, so I can't empty the card or change modes (stuck in b&w 1600 ASA).

By the way, does anyone know if it is feasible to repair the lcd, or would that be too expensive?

I looked into getting mine fixed after sand damage, was going to cost me £80, £30 less than what they were selling for new in jessops

hardly seemed worth it.

anyone looking to sell one still? I'll pay.

Saw a GRD 2 sold for $240 on ebay just a week ago... seemed like a good deal.
