[Leica] Just curious

[pjleeson at mchsi.com (Philip Leeson)]

It's easy to forget is just how good we Leicaphiles have it.
I still marvel at the ease with which those of us interested it  
obscure pursuits now have a global marketplace.
In the olden days (~7 yrs ago), if you were tired of a camera/lens/ 
amplifier/speaker/etc, you were pretty much stuck with it.
And if you bought a 135mm R lens and found no use for it, you were  
stuck.
Now one can justify "upgrading" as the old stuff has some trading  
value, though I suspect many of us are re-buying our own things back.
Mostly fruitless trips to various camera or stereo stores are a thing  
of the past.
Now, with a few keystrokes, I can find all the 1970's I would ever need.
And what better way to relive one's youth than picking up an old  
Marantz receiver or a set of AR3a's, etc?
Makes the hassles with the postal services seem minor to me.
