If you are out to purchase a Leica 50mm 0.95 Noctilux camera lens, you probably aren't too worried about money 
Nonetheless, you probably don't want to be scammed. I've noticed several scam postings for these lenses on ebay recently. I've seen them in the form of
1) buy it now for around $7000 from accounts with relatively low feedback (<100)
2) auctions from accounts that have some solid feedback. However, you look into the accounts and all they've sold are $1 items.
About 20% of the current listings are scams, and I'd say ~70% of the sold listings for the past few months have been scams
I'm not saying all sellers selling the Leica 50mm 0.95 are scammers, but be VERY cautious around these listings, especially if they're willing to let the lens go for under $8000. As another check, use google image search on their ebay listing images to see if the images come from some other source.
