"............Leica needs to sell directly to the consumer on the internet,
by passing the dealers. .........."

I can just see it now...... Leica showroom, salivating customer from Boston,
Leica M6 with 4 APO lenses in hand.......

" Sir, and to complete the transaction, may I ask the name and location of
your usual dealer?"
"Boston Camera, Boston Mass, USA."
Oh yes Sir, that will be an additional 50% for the Leica USA warranty."

Right, shove the price gouging right up the consumer's nose.

I said it before... Worldwide pricing.  Worldwide service.  1 Price, 1
Warranty.
Period.
