I said, by personal experience, "some" will "absolutely" sell for more than the new price. 
My statement was not a blanket one recommending all SE M6's. It was a confirmation 
that the PAD M6 is worth more on the current consumer market, provided that it is 
unused, than it was when Chatterton sold it.

In comparison, sealed M6 from early '96 are currently being bought by dealers in the 
$1300 range. Both M6's sold for prices within $200 of each other at Don Chatterton. 
One of them will bring $1300 on demand from a dealer, the other will bring $2100 from 
the same dealer.

Which is worth more?

Sam Shosan has a slightly used PAD he's selling for $2500 I'm told which furter proves 
my point.
