The slow production and big demand for M10's
has resulted in crazy M10 prices in the short run.
Some ebay M10 dealers are asking for only $8998
Yes indeed, be the first hedge fund manager on your island to have a M10!

Some people call this "market conditions", I think it is just seeking for kind of stupid people.

I am young enough to remember when the first Miata came out, some dealers were selling it at double sticker.
The M10 at a $2K mark up is a steal...

Good time to buy the M240. I saw a BRAND NEW one last week for below $4000. Less than what I paid for my used M-P.

It's a freakin awesome time to buy an M240!

Wake me when the next product buzz gets going. That's when to buy an M10. ;-)

For those thinking of buying the M240 are there good places to look (beyond the classifieds at RFF, of course!!) And, for that matter, places to avoid. Is the 'bay an uncertain place to be avoided????

The best camera is one that still works!
I seem to remember that Fuji's X100 was selling for stupid prices at the start due to shortages. At least I think it was the X100?
As people have said if you are happy with what the 240 offers it's a very good time to buy new or used and in hind sight I think the 240 is one of the least complained about cameras that Leica have released in the digital era. Having owned mine for two or three years now I can understand why.

Yes....I demand that they increase supply. I need more people to dump their M240.

Economically it's supply vs demand. Actually it's lust vs greed.

Fleabay is almost a lost cause. How many are buying at that price?
Whoever preordered from a dealer did so at a prearranged price.

Hedge fund manager or drug dealer . . . just need to get a M10 in a couple of bad ass music videos.

It may be incredible to some, economics and/or lust and greed to others. It may be unaffordable to many. But Stephen, why do you think it is crazy?

I paid $9700 for the neat mobile home I purchased in St Pete, Florida. It has central air and heat, a Florida room, and came completely furnished w/ towels, pots and pans, dinnerware, TV, all that. Now I find out that I could have spent only $9500 for a Leica digital camera (w/ taxes, no lens) and slept in the park. Hmmm, maybe I made the wrong decision? I'll get back to you on that one.

The m9p looks like it is still selling at a high price.
