No, Ken, prices do not keep going up. Two or three years ago I sold a very 
nice M4 but with a serious dent - more than a ding - in the topplate 
northwest of the viewfinder eyepiece, for close to $2,000. One would be very 
lucky to get $800. today.

M3's and M4's are selling well today because the prices are very attractive, 
compared to what they were one, two and three years ago AND compared to the 
cost of an M7 or MP.
