Chris, I differ with you. The time tested pricing model holds true even with Leicas. As long as there are BUYERS willing to pay the price, the price will remain. When there are more buyers than sellers - prices rise. When there are fewer buyers than sellers - things cheapen up. Right now, Leica is JUST becoming a household name. More and more people are becoming aware of these as collectibles - Martha Stewart has an M3 now. If anyone recalls the Great Tulip Bulb Market, it can be likened to the current Leica bubble. It happened with Ferrari's in the mid-80's and it's happening now with your beloved Leica's. Stick around - it's a bubble, it will pop. Regards, Ben W. Holmes Boulder, CO USA bholmes@frii.com
