Used M9s are around $5000 now. So it's getting to be "reasonable" level,
for some definition of reasonable.

My M9 is just over 2 years old this month. I shot just under 20,000 photos
in 2 years, or 10,000 a year. This is on top of ~100 rolls on the XPan and
numerous Taiko and masquerade photos too many to count.

I know Ted probably shoot that much in a week or less, but not bad for a
non-working professional.
