You point to changes in the value of the dollar to talk about the camera
"increasing in value?" How much is a used M7, Karen? More than $2495?

Again - Leicas, particularly Ms, hold their value better than just about
any other camera; better than Nikon's; better than Canon's. But unless
those Ms are true collectibles, they do NOT appreciate in value. That's
not to knock Leicas, it's just to deal in reality. ;-)

Umm... last month, the M7 was $2495 retail. This month it's about $2595.

Ever see a digital camera go UP in price at the sales counter?

That's appreciation. ;-)
