Sure
It's super cool 
Mechanical shutter at all speeds and also has an electronic AE system.
Use it with batteries or no. Great spot meter.
like the Nikon FM3a but in OM mount and with Spot Meter.
Hard to find and therefore expensive.

Well, it is a collectors price....an a nice camera.
I was surprised by http://cgi.ebay.com/Ricoh-Five-One-Nine-Black-RARE-Rangefinder-camera_W0QQitemZ220546042422QQcmdZViewItemQQptZFilm_Cameras?hash=item3359918a36 Something else then what I paied (EUR 25) for my Ricoh S3 (very alike but humble 2,8/45mm en not black) from the same period! I cannot imagine that some one will pay such price. |

Well the key is the seller's target audience: "Item location Hollywood,CA -Famous camera source!"  .
But seriously it seems like the black version gives additional value in both cases. You can get OM-30 for 30 EUR and Ricoh 519 for 50 EUR.

Eur380 is far from an unusual price for that body.
I've seen auctions that have finished much higher.
It's a very difficult camera to find and highly coveted by OM users and collectors. Don't confuse the OM3 and OM30 completely different ends if the quality spectrum from Oly.

Oh, stupid me. And it's obviously black only.

Ever since the OM-3 was discontinued way back in 1986, it has been a hot item and highly sought after. Not just by collectors, either. It remains one of the coolest manual-focus cameras available, period. Thus its high price.
