How much would you pay for a Mint M6 TTL 0.85

[Fenwick]

How much is a Mint M6 TTL 0.85 And I mean mint it looks like the camera had never even been taken out of the box
So what would one expect to pay for such a pristine sample

Thanks

Some one must have an idea what this would be worth

I'd say €900 tops. I've had and seen mint M6 sell for €800 so €100 extra for ttl and .85
Must have the box and papers.
This is Euro price.

Seems a bit low

In June of this year I paid $1,450 for a minimally used mint condition M6 classic (c. 1996). If TTL is important to you I might be willing to pay a couple hundred more for it. But, I don't think I'd go higher than around $1,800 or so.

Here's a few prices I recorded on UK eBay this year, in GB£. Multiply by around 1.5 to approximate US$. The mint ones probably fetched the highest prices.

823, 899, 826, 700, 1118, 1120, 780, 1025, 820, 817, 951

$1400 is a good price.
I got a mintish M6 0.85 a few years ago.

Pinkie at lip: One Million Dollars!


Well, if money were no object that is. I don't even have $1400.

 

[Fenwick]

They want $1500 includes the 5% tax and shipping so $1400 for the camera.Not bad I guess for a like new M6 TTL 0.85

It sounds OK to me if all is good.

I paid $1500 for a mint one over a year ago.

Not a bad price at all. An EX+ TTL at KEH is $1600 right now. IF it functions as new, it's a good price.

Sherry K. has two listed on her web page. Both above the price mentioned above. She said that there were only about 3,500 made. $1,500 seems more than reasonable.

As a guide, £1900 gets you a brand new (not secondhand) 0.85 M6 TTL from the last batch of 999 cameras they made. Remember this is a 'collectors edition' and is brand harry spankers, and never out of the box.

A non 'collectors edition' sells for around £1400 - £1500.

Bear in mind though that these prices are for brand new cameras that have never been out of their boxes, have no previous owners and full guarantees.

I bought a chrome TTL 0.85 in excellent condition serviced for $1400 a couple of years ago, before the economy went down.

Were would one find a new M6??

Two things: I believe that Sherry's site (inventory) has not been updated in over a year, so those may be very old prices. Second, that price and number (3,500) being made refers only to the M6 "Classic", not the TTL. I believe that Leica made 3,500 black M6's with a .85 VF before switching to the TTL version and making the .85 readily available.

That is true. I have made a few queries concerning items I wanted to purchase and she stated the page needed an update because the items I wanted had been sold. I'm sure that applies to other items on there as well.

I wouldn't buy a mint M6TTL if it costs a lot more than another one (if you don't want to have it sitting on a shelf) - rather one in good condition but with some life to it, spend some money on the CLA and spend the rest on film, paper or something else
