Jeffery:
I know it doesn't help this time, but I always insist on FedEx shipping
with insurance for anything I buy on ebay. And I always ship via FedEx to
folks who buy from me. USPS lost a 17mm Tokina lens I sold and returned the
shredded box I shipped it in, then found the lens and sent it back to me
after I sent a scathing letter detailing how I'd followed all their packing
requirements. I lost that sale, but resold it to a different buyer... and
shipped via FedEx.
I don't trust UPS either, but I suspect New Orleans UPS will find that M6
as they're better at finding things than USPS. And hopefully it's insured
if they don't. Hang in there and keep hounding them.

If this is the worst thing that has ever happened to them, then it confirms my suspicions that Leica-users are a terribly oversheltered and priviledged group.
The new-in-box black M6 that I bought on ebay that was supposed to arrive on my doorstep yesterday has been lost in New Orleans by UPS. They think "the address label fell off" (yeah, that's always happening to those UPS labels). And these folks think they're having a sh***y day. :-(
