[Leica] M6 prices are $$$

[Frank Filippone]

There are a total of 3 local brick and mortar stores that carry a good 
assortment of used equipment.  This for a population of 10-20 million 
people.  Los Angeles area ( 80x50 miles).

Samys, Pro Photo, and Silvio's.  Mail order like KEH is almost a 20-50% 
privlege.

Asking for a local camera store is like asking for a place to buy a 
buggy whip.

EBay is now the price setter, and place to go to get used camera 
stuff..... If you do not like EBay, there is Criagslist,

To directly answer your question, the used prices of what I see on 
Craigslist are higher than EBay.

Some examples..... 150 for $2 per mm.  80 for $ 2.50 per  180 for $3.00 
per   50 for $3.00 per.  500 at $1.00 per

Now if you want a 100mm, it is $7 per, a 250 Achromat is $6.00 per   
Without Achromat is $2.00 per.

Want an SWC? 30mm at almost $100 per.

Film backs?  $100

Bodies (500c) are $300 and up.

Flexbodies are $1500

Yes, it is a good time to buy Hasselblad......
