How much is a used M7, Karen? More than $2495? Again - Leicas, particularly Ms, hold their value better than just about any other camera; better than Nikon's; better than Canon's. But unless those Ms are true collectibles, they do NOT appreciate in value. That's not to knock Leicas, it's just to deal in reality. ;-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Karen Nakamura Sent: Monday, May 26, 2003 2:38 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: [Leica] Oh ...

Umm... last month, the M7 was $2495 retail. This month it's about $2595. Ever see a digital camera go UP in price at the sales counter? That's appreciation. ;-) Karen - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
