Leica Digilux 2 on E Bay

The sales blurb is a bit dodgy - Leica recall? there never was a Leica recall. I think it has been used more and has had 200 actuations after a replacement of a failed sensor. The price is a typycal e-bay occurence - too high because probably two persons got carried away.
 
thats what the winning bid was, lets hope they didnt flake out and try to weasel out of the deal by not paying up.
 
The reason I posted this is because it may help dispel some myths about the future value of the current M digitals.

It seems everyone is concerned that they are losing value big time.
What we have to remember is that Leica are not a volume manufacturer like Nikon or Cannon.

I believe a Leica in good condition regardless of the technology will always be worth something.

What would a comparable 7 year old Nikon or Cannon be worth now?

Don't get me wrong... I've always loved the Nikon products and have owned several over the years.
But I don't have any experience with Cannon.
 
Someone paid way too much for an antique digital camera. Happens all the time on eBay. The Digilux 2 is old news now. The myth of the Leica strikes again.
 
The going rate for an D2 is about 750 Euro, say 1000$ right now, and rising. The panasonic twin about 400 Euro - doesn't make sense, but there it is...
 
I traded my E-P2 for one a while back and am happy as a clam..... and as we all know, no one is happier than a clam... ; )

I enjoyed my Digilux2 while it was around at $500.
But I sold it when it reached the good price mark... yeah, this calls a good short investment.
:)

I still have some left over such as remote release and Leica Macro filter.
