In fact, for a short while, M6TTL cameras were selling for $900 when the M7
came out.  Ditto again when the M8 showed its face.

BTW, Kurland ( ?  Tamarkin?) just dumped a bunch of demo M8's on Ebay for
about $3900..... with demo warranty.....  a used one should sell for a lot
less.....today.. Tomorrow...????

Who knows how low it will go?  But have your cash ready.....  There will be
plenty of sub- $3K buyers.........!

I didn't say all owners will do that :-)

A small number of used M8s already appears for ~$3900. And as I said, 
M6 went from ~$2000 to $1200 when the M7 was released and M7 went 
through a drop also when the M8 was released. So it stands to reason 
the trend would continue.
