A few people are already asking several tings I won't do: end the auction early, give you a special "Buy It Now" price or ship to a non-U.S. address. So just hang in there till the end. And if you do decide to bid and if you win you will have a camera that will knock your socks off. You will take it to bed with you and listen to the shutter click at 1/30th of a second and lean into to your wife and interrupt her John Irving novel and tell her "Listen to this, honey," and then you'll click it next to her ear so she can appreciate that singular sound and you'll just shake your head in awe because you can't believe how pretty it is and your wife will roll her eyes and say, "Why did you buy another camera?" And you'll tell her it's not a camera, it's a Leica and she'll say "I thought you already had like ten of those" and she'll ask why you need another one and you'll say, "It's not a matter of need it's a matter of passion. Leica passion." And she'll roll her eyes again and shake her head and you'll remind her that it's better than having a mistress (though not as cheap) and she'll probably say that at least she could UNDERSTAND wanting a mistress, but that this, this is just a hunk of metal! And you'll wonder for a moment why you married her and that crack about a hunk of metal will make you contemplate the whole mistress thing but then you'll think better of it because it's better to hold a Leica anyway because a woman will last a few weeks at the most till she gets tired of you and your stupid cameras but a Leica will last you forever. And then you'll wonder if you're getting old for having thought that, but then you'll look through the crystal clear viewfinder and fiddle with the aperture and that marvelous, shutter speed dial and you'll pretend to take pictures with it for awhile and then you'll realize, yes, THIS is better than an affair. And you'll drift into a kind of reverie till your wife yells at you to turn out the @#&*% light already and put the #@#^%& camera away for @#$% sake, I mean really! And you'll go to bed with a smile and you'll wake up with a smile and even your wife will wonder whether the whole Leica thing is a just a cover for the affair you may be having and not saying anything about because NO THING could make a man smile like that. But you'll know better.
