Even those "Franklin Mint"-style M6 commemoratives (wedding anniversary of the Queen of Outer Slobovia, etc.) have performed badly as investments - and rightly so for such gimmicks. On the other hand, I believe even ordinary M6 cameras, if well cared for, will hold their value over time while providing you with a great tool you can use and hand over to your kids one day. Eventually, with inflation and labour costs, retail prices will rise and an M6 you bought in1996 for $1695 will probably be worth at least that in 2016.
