Leica M6 HM, New in box, special serial number is #2425000. Best offer over $2500. Future collectible. - ---------- The serial number is what makes it a future collectible. If you look through Christie's auction catalogs you will find that cameras with special serial numbers (2 consec. cameras, first 100 made, serial number matching year, certain century marks etc.) will quite often sell to collects for quite a bit more than the going market value for a "regular" camera of the same model. You may not care about the serial number, but there are many who do. Even a recent Tamarkin ad featured an M6 with a special serial number as an "instant collectible." thanks, Rich
