Bottomline? They can't keep up to the demand for M9's, just beginning to
catch-up, not likely for several months yet.  Lenses? In far greater demand
than ever expected. In some cases M series, even the top dollar glass? You
may have to wait several months and longer for the most expensive glass. No
shotage of orders.

Given they can barely keep up with demand they'd have to be absolutely
STUPID to reduce prices.  The market in the form of the big auction website
is saying the prices for many of the lenses should be even higher.

They don't have the production capacity for more supply so the only thing
reducing prices would do is reduce profit - and profit is what funds R&D
for the next model.
