[Leica] Leica M6 .85 Classic...What Would Alan Greenspan Do?

[buzz.hausner at verizon.net (Buzz Hausner)]

Yeah?  Well, I have one and I use it constantly!  Seriously, I wouldn't
hold on to any piece of photographic equipment as an investment, it is
certainly a losing proposition and your money is better off in any
number of other holdings.  Hold on to your M6 because you love it,
because you want to leave it to your children, because you may use it
again someday...but hold on to it because its value will rise relative
to other uses for your money?  Fagettaboutit.  Remember the one true
axiom of economics, something...lets say an M6 .85 classic...is "worth"
exactly what a buyer is willing to pay, it is not "worth" your selling
price.  ;-)

I have one for sale as well, but I don't want to sell it at prevaling
prices.   I've stopped using mine other than periodically excercising
the
shutter, and it is in perfect condition.   Maybe one day when people
discover that the only way to buy a .85 Leica is through the ridiculous
a
la carte program, they will discover the true value of the pre-ttl .85
M6.
And then they will pay me what I deserve!   ;-)
