[Leica] Price of each M9 photo...

[Brian Reid]

I bought a Canon 1DsMKII in 2004 for many many thousands of dollars. I 
don't remember what I paid, but it was a lot. In 2018 I threw it in the 
trash because I couldn't get $100 for it on eBay and wasn't willing to 
do the work of shipping a camera for any lower amount.
