Bob gets the 246 for $3550 plus his MM because he?s just a schlub with a newer and costlier Leica (nothing personal, Bob!). Tina gets the 246 for $2900 plus her M9, probably older than mine and far more used, because, well, because Tina! All as it should be. Leica should give her equipment for free. ?howard > On Feb 12, 2016, at 7:05 PM, Robert Adler <rgacpa at gmail.com> wrote: > > They quoted me the price sight unseen: no questions were asked (# > exposures, date manufactured, serial number, etc.). > Guess it just depends on their mood? > Weird > > On Fri, Feb 12, 2016 at 3:45 PM, Tina Manley <images at comporium.net> > wrote: > >> I'm not sure how they figure the upgrade prices.
