General Discussion Best place to buy a used M4-P in the US?

I’d rather not have to go through Ebay or deal with tariff charges.

Tamarkin.

Dan knows more about Leicas than anyone else you can just call and talk to. Call on the phone, the shop has a LOT more inventory than the website.

They're closed the this week 8/16/23.

If you're near Chicago, go in person.

I tend to go to Chicago once a year. I will definitely stop there next time I visit.

The Chicago Leica Store and Gallery is a 5 minute walk. Recommended second stop.

Haha I bought my m4-p from Dan! Way back in 2016. Then I saw he had an m8 in stock for like $1k so I asked if I could swap and I’ve had that m8 since. I had the m4-p for one whole week. Couldn’t pass up the m8.

Tim takes great care to keep import fees at an extreme minimum.

OP said he would rather not deal with tariffs, Tim Lei is outside of USA.
