The M9 has been sold for 2 Years & 7 Month's. Buy now its being sold on the used market as well as the new. That fact that we now see them on the used market at prices lower than new says nothing about its relationship to the inevitable late breaking DSLR'S always coming out. It only means one thing. It means the camera has been out for 2 Years & 7 Month's. The camera is being sold for the same smart through inane reasons it was bought for in the first place. No doubt as being seen here plenty of well healed people bought it because it was a cool prestige item to have at the time and at this point are ready to turn it over for whatever new and cool item is out there. Photo gear or otherwise. Regardless its 5 grand in your Play Pal account to play on the eBay with. For people who have owned the camera for two years with little to show for it that may be too much fun to pass over. - - from my iRabs.
