Description of Item: This is a vintage Leica DBP Model IIIg (S/N 867175 ) camera made in 1957 . This camera comes with a Summaron f=3.5cm 1:3.5 Lens (S/N 1060213 - made in 1953), a lens cap, E Leitz Wetzlar 3.5cm Viewfinder, leather leica camera case, and the original Leica IIIg camera instruction booklet. The original owner of this equipment is now deceased but absolutely loved his cameras and took excellent care of them. The camera ensemble was checked out completely by a professional camera expert before the demise of the owner. Everything checked out without problems and are in good working condition. This is a very clean camera and lens. The leather case is intact but does show normal signs of wear and tear. These items weigh 2 lb 4 ozs before packing materials are added for shipping. Special Note About Shipping Costs: Free shipping to locations within the United States. International location need to pay shipping and insurance costs. I request winning bidders to wait until I send them an invoice before paying me for the items they have won. The reason why is Ebay requires sellers to provide shipping costs before the items can be listed for auction. Personally this is very difficult for me to do as I sell a lot of one-of-kind items and each has different packing needs. It also is complicated by the fact that many times multiple items are won by the same winning bidder. I estimate shipping size and weight on the high side as t have been many times in the past w I have misestimate package size and weights and found the shipping costs terribly wrong. If you wait until I properly pack your item(s), weigh and measure the package, and accurately estimate your ship cost then I can say t is a 90% chance that the actual ship cost reflected in the invoice will be cheaper than the estimate shown in my auction. I provide the dimensions for the items I sell along with the pre-ship item's weight in my auction description. You can do your own estimate keeping in mind that fragile items usually need double the space required. I do not have any guidelines for estimating the ship weight of packing materials. Those vary by item. International Bidders: For packages that weigh 2 lbs or less t is a USPS rate called First Class International. I do not ship First Class International for the reason that Ebay and PayPal services have not figured out a way to coordinate effectively. A seller can offer the First Class International option in Ebay but cannot choose it as a ship option in PayPal. Tfore when buyers pay for First Class International the seller must manually complete customs paperwork and stand in long lines at the Post Office to process the shipment. For other USPS ship options everything is automated - no paperwork to complete and no lines. I am just too busy to be able to accommodate request for First Class International. Don't bother to ask. I have complained to both Ebay and PayPal but no changes as yet. I also do not mess with customs values. So please do not ask. If you don't want to pay for Priority Mail International and/or the actual customs amount, please do not bid. Refund Policy: Refund on this auction will be accepted only if the camera or lens do not function as described. The buyer will pay for the cost of return shipment. The refund amount will include the final auction bid amount and original shipping costs that were paid by buyer once it has been confirmed that the items have been returned to the seller in the same condition in which they were sent to the buyer. Terms of Sale: Seller expects payment to be made within three days of auction end date. Once payment is confirmed seller will ship item within 24 hours. I will combine multiple auctions that you have won and save you money on shipping. So if you expect to bid on other items please let me know. Ship insurance is optional but is highly recommended. I will pack the item to prevent damage as best I can BUT if the item is damaged or lost during transit I will not assume responsibil... read more
