OK, so I just got a PM from someone (garygagax) who has been a member of the Hide for let's see, 4 days (21 May, 2020) telling me he has a buddy in Texas that has a Leica ERi in excellent condition that he wants to sell. He then provided a gmail address for me to contact his buddy.
garygagax: If this is legit, then please respond to me on the open Hide to confirm your conversation. Always suspicious of backroom only deals from folks that have "0" (zero) previous exposure on this forum. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks
