I guess Leica looked at ebay and thought if you can't beat' em join em:

Dear Leica friends,

as subscriber of our newsletter you are accustomed to the usage and the 
opportunities of the internet. Also Leica Camera, a company with a long 
tradition, is very open towards this media and its fascinating possibilities. 
To demonstrate this attitude towards the internet we initiated a very special 
event in cooperation with amazon.de taking place in May 2000.

For the first time and exclusively on the Amazon-website, Leica Camera AG 
auctions off a worldwide sought-after, unique item on the internet, starting 
15th of May: a rangefinder camera Leica M6 TTL with classic black paint  finish.
The camera with the serial number 2.501.000 (edition-number 1000/2000)  is one
of the most wanted items of this 2,000-piece-edition. Since launch of  the
anniversary edition at the turn of the century, 1999/2000, by Leica Camera  AG
the company was approached by numerous collectors from all over the world  who
explicitly asked for this model.

Now all interested collectors worldwide have the same chance to buy this  unique
item online on the auction-sites of www.amazon.de, www.amazon.com or 
www.amazon.co.uk. Just choose your preferred language and country. Detailed 
information is available on the webpages of Leica Camera AG and Amazon.de.

Utilize this unique opportunity to bid on a very special model. We are looking 
forward to your participation and are expecting an interesting auction on the  web.
