That's one theory. I have bought and sold the following Leica items:
- M6 TTL
- MP .085
- Noctilux, probably the last one sold for ~$1400!!
- Tri-Elmar
- 90/2 AA
- 50/2 'cron

I don't miss them. The Nocti I missed only in the sense that I should
have kept it and sell it for a lot more money :-) The last two were
sold to pay bills, which sucks, but a 50/2 is redundant since I have
the 50/1.4. If I ever get an M9, I will probably pick up the 90/2 AA
again.

I have a few VC lens, just never like them enough to keep them. The
Zeiss 25/2.8 is a good shooter on the M8 though.

Generally, if a gear lasts for more than 3 months in my bag, then they
are "well-used," not quite as well-used as Tina's, but on their way
there.
